I have seen different things discussed, like welding up some
pieces custom, using a plumber's nightmare of 2 different barb fittings and a connector, the mythical fuel filter with 9mm inlet and 7mm outlet. What is the best way to deal with this? Thanks, John |

I also recently faced this issue. After being shamed by the Cap'n and others I decided to do it right. The factory tapered hose is about $25, which seems absurd, but then I remembered all the $ thrown at other parts of the car and it didn's seem so bad. I am sure the hose I replaced, which was still not leaking, was 39 years old. I figure I'll get my money's worth out of the new one and will know I did it right.
