Im using 7.9mm rubber hose seems stiff when its cut short compared to the factory plastic flexible hose. What hose do I use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a specific hose designed for in tank use. It's rated for alcohol and petroleum submersion. http://www.gates.com/products/automotive/passenger-car-and-light-truck/fuel-system/submersible-fuel-line-hose Needs to be sae30r10 or higher. I don't have a piece with the part number handy unfortunately Edited 03/06/17 09:42 AM by Ralph Wiggum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
