Fuel Filler Tubing Source?

Eagle · Oct 10, 2004

I have to replace the tank on the 87 Comanche ASAP because it's marking its territory. From other MJ tanks I've seen come out in this part of the world, there's a high probability that I may need to cut the rubber hoses between the filler neck and the tank.

The problem is that DaimlerChrysler has discontinued the hoses, and I can't find fuel line hose in those sizes locally. The inlet is 1-1/2" and the vent is either 1/2" or 5/8". I've tried AutoZone, Advance, Pep Boys, NAPA, and an old-time independent with no joy.

These have to be fuel line -- radiator hose or heater hose deteriorates when exposed to gasoline.

Any ideas where I might be able to get this stuff on-line? I need about one foot of each size.

Not familiar with the MJ setup, but this may quardatec has replacement filler/vent lines for the XJ for $17.

Hope this helps. If not, good luck with the search.

When I had to replace the line in my 73 CJ5 I couldn't find one; I ended up getting a 'close' replacement (possibly at NAPA?) and cutting it to the appropriate length once I found a series of bends that approximated the original. That was for the main hose though but as I recall they also have bulk fuel hose in the smaller diameters as well. If not, ask to see some of the preformed ones so you can match them up.

i went to www.mcmaster.com, entered "gasoline hose" in the search field, and saw that they sell gasoline transfer hose by the foot (5 foot minimum unfortunately) in from 1.5" to 4" diameter in .5" increments. for the smaller vent hose, you should be able to use hydraulic hose.
