where can i get a fuel hose that runs from petcock on?

i have a hole and its pissing out gas

dealer to get it prebent and all but autozone or advance would have a hose that you would not have the right bends

so advanced has it?

what about lowes?

Flea bay it - you want tygon fuel line. I got plenty at home, but you know, 10 days before I can get it to you.
But, look for tygon fuel line on fleabay. Buy in pretty colors the GS uses 1/4 inch if I recall, but measure ID and buy.
Cool.
Buddha.

I got clear vinyl hose from Lowes.$3.50 for 10 feet.It's in the plumbing section below the board with small 3/8 and 1/4 inch fittings on it.They were a pain to install.A hair dry helps to warm the lines so they will stretch.Once they cool down they seal great with no clamps.It's thins wall so no wrestling both lines onto the tank petcock.

ok so what sizes do i need? 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch?

1/4 Inside diameter AKA ID.Mine has 1/4 ID on the label.It is tight fit and warming with a hair dryer helps.Once they're on they're easy to remove and put back on for repair work.

7mm is the correct size. Impossible to find.

I use poly 5/16", next to impossible to find. Wish I bought more last time.

lol dgyver all of those listed impossible to find lol X_X

i guess i'll go with ben2go with the 1/4 vinyl ones woot

thanks for all ya'lls help

Hey Ben, I know most folks recommend the Tygon because it's fuel-safe. What about this stuff you got at Lowes? Thanks!

So far so good.It is rated for use with chemicals.Doesn't say what chemicals.It doesn't say it on the tag,but the box says chemical resistant.The tygon to me is better but can get pricey.It has better elasticity than the tubing I am speaking of.I figure 10' is enough for 2 years probably longer.At $3.50 for 10' I'm ok with that.Tygon was $10 for 3',but I really haven't checked into since last year.Here's a pic.

i dunno about u but i got my for a 1.90 lol

but i was wondering is the heat from the the engine going to harm the hose?

As long as it's not touching the cylinders or head.There should be no problems.I have had no problems so far.

I just noticed some cracking in my fuel line right under my tank petcock, I think I'll be picking up some of this line.

these lines are rated at 70F but get soft when driving but will not slip off woot

and i'm going to try that jb weld tomrrow on the petcock how long does it take JB weld to set?

Thanks, Ben!

The clear vinyl stuff from Home Despot or Lowe's is fine for about 9 months or so.  After that it gets hard as a rock and will vibrate itself off at connection points.  Listen to The Buddah and do what he says.  The Tygon will stay translucent and flexible whereas the clear vinyl will sometimes get cloudy.  I myself prefer to use clear fuel lines because it is useful when tuning.
