Fuel tank hose question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Yukon Jack** · 05-13-2004, 11:28 AM

When I dropped my gas tank in the 70 K5 I found the hose that goes from the tank to the filler was in bad shape and needs replacing. I measured the outside diameter of the tank's fuel filler spout and it is 1 3/8".

The LMC catalog shows this fuel hose is available in 2" or 2 1/4" ID. Went ahead and ordered a hose from one of our vendors to see if it would work, hoping there was a miss measurement, but the hose is a true 2" ID so way too big.

Anyone else run into this problem and if so, what did you do?

The local parts houses here don't have a fuel hose in 1 3/8" ID.
