I see where the Tapered Fuel Hose is no longer available at Pelican Parts:
http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/smart/...74%29%2C%20Each Does anyone know an alternative source? Also dumb question. The description says "Tapered Fuel Hose For Connection at Fuel Filter." I thought the hose was also used for the outlet port on the fuel pump because the connection is smaller than the standard hose size: 8 mm? |

Glad I got one a few years back when I started my fuel line replacement project. Car is still in the air and the lines all in boxes in my garage, good grief I need to get my car going again !
I bet AA has them at a new adjusted price ! |

That's why I'm looking for things like this fuel hose - trying to gather parts for a comprehensive tune up and refresh in hopes of getting on the road again. And even AA has this part listed as "discontinued." |

And even AA has this part listed as "discontinued." I made one out of a piece of hose that was the correct size for the small end. I clamped a tapered punch in the vise and shoved the hose onto the punch after soaking the hose in boiling water. It stretched the hose enough to work. |
