fuel filler hose? - Mark's89 - 04-06-2008
Hello all,
Went to fill up the other day and noticed gas running out on the ground,
Looked under and found the fuel hose is dry rot.
Checked dealer in K-ville and they said the part is obsolete???
Checked NAPA and they didn't know the size but said they might have something at 18.00/FT!!
Anybody ran into this and how did you fix it?
89 BII XLT mostly stock.
Thanks in advance, Mark.

I only have a short piece left, but I could hook you up with the part number or the material, or even get it and mail it to ya. I wont see them until Monday.Just let me know,Chuck:xyxthumbs:

That stuff is expensive. I had to use some of the marine grade rubber exhaust hose for a work project once and it was about $25/sqft. My boss was pissed when I bought 6' extra just to be safe.
I think it is amazing that a fuel filler hose for an 89 is obsolete. There are so many of those rigs out there with that setup. Not even the specialty houses have them?

Any fuel proof hose would work as long as the size is correct. Doesn't have to be anything exotic.:biggthumpup:

Does JBG or any other vendor not carry this? I haven't looked on their site but that's where I got one for my EB. Doesn't make since that they have it for a 70's model but not an 80's.

Thanks for the replies,
Does anyone remember the I.D. Since it's my daily driver, I wanted to get the new hose
ahead of time. Mark.
