fuel fill hose

Post by Gene-C »

Anybody ever use radiator hose as fuel fill hose? I rememebr seeing a build up on a car one time where a guy said it was OK. I remember the pic of a section of the hose soaking in a mason jar full of gas. Any personal experience? REAL world???? MURZ

before I went to a spun alu. tank I had a stock vw tank up front and I used that upper radiator hose off a 82 Monte Carlo. I had it on there or almost 2 years and never had problem number one. When I took it of it looked just as good as it did when I put it on. Jeremy Chattanooga, TN

Gates makes a fuel resistant hose "Vulco flex". Most autoparts stores carry it.
