    While camping this weekend another camper was telling me how much they liked my van, and then pointed out the dripping gas. After a long sleepless night of gas dripping into a bucket, we packed-up and stopped at the first auto-parts place on the way home.

    O'reilly Auto Parts, and like panelmanrd said, they stock it.

    I just told them I needed 1 3/8" Fuel tank filler hose, and then confirmed that it was made for gas. They sold it for $11.00 a foot.

    There probably are lot of vehicles out there with that hose on their tanks,,it would probably last a long time before it swells up, leaks or comes apart and clogs up your fuel system,,,,,

    I dug around and found this one..
    http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/GAT0/24702/N0065.oap?ck=Search_N0065_-1_566&pt=N0065&ppt=C0075

    1 3/8" = 34.9mm and this one is 35mm

    It has a bend in the middle, but it's three feet long, so I should be able to get 10 inches of straight hose from it.

    It's listed on their site as by the foot, but actually the listed price is for the whole 3 foot hose.

    I spoke with the manager, and he agreed that they shouldn't have considered that hose for fuel, its in their system that way too. This other hose will be in for me tomorrow afternoon.
