    Fuel tank hose Empty Fuel tank hose

    As the title states, I’m looking for the hose that attaches to the fuel tank and then onto the steel fuel line. Is there a special hose for that and if so, is it available some where? I have all new 5/16” steel fuel line from the fuel pump back to the tank and was curious if there’s a specific hose to connect to the tank. Thanks, Steve.

    You need 5/16"fuel line hose which just clamps on the sender and fuel line which they sell by the foot, not vacuum hose,,,,,,,unless you got something modified with fittings on the end.

    as Donnie stated,
    But there is a ground strap that goes from the sender to the steel gas line so the sender is grounded
    avail. on ebay or you can use 2 small hose clamp and a stranded copper wire for the ground

    You can get the fuel line(hose) at NAPA, they sell it by the foot. Be sure and replace the clamps as well, it will save you trouble down the road. Good luck with it.

    Thanks guys, got it handled. I was thinking there might have been a special formed or molded hose. I guess not.
