my filler hose is history

I've looked all around and have found no-one who has replaced the 35 year old rubber fuel filler hose. Two flanges, a lower bellows and a tank inlet below the tank top. After time they rot out. The stock replacement is over $100 and it doesn't seem like some sharp HZ user has found the perfect solution.

 

Let's share some ideas and get on with spring.

I can't say I'm a sharp uzer, but I did replace my leaky 30 year old filler hose with stainless flex tubing that I got at an auto parts store for radiator hose. Fit quite nicely I must say, now I gotta figure out how to do the rest.

 

 

That was pretty smart of you, however, gas will eat radiator hoses!

Don't ask me how I know.

Well, the brain trust must be challenged on this one. I might reuse the top of the old hose (still solid) place a piece of stainless pipe in between and connect on the bottom with some marine grade fuel hose.

 

Simple and effective.
