Title: fuel pump flex line
Post by: cokefirst on 2019-12-20 00:22
anyone have a recommendation for a fuel pump flex line source or brand?  I have been getting mine from one of the local Thunderbird parts suppliers and have had nothing but problems.  I get less than 6 months out of them before they turn to sponge.  I am not naming the supplier as I am generally pleased with most things I buy from him, just not these flex lines.  Thanks in advance.

Maybe try Rock Auto they probably have newer stock than most.

Some newer application may fit too.

in the other fuel pump flex line topic Jim mentioned modern fuel hose:

This unfortunately will need hose fittings and clamps.

 Can't you make the whole line out of steel or aluminum?

It goes between the frame and fuel pump so you need some flex I would think..
I need some 5/16 steel line for another project motor and none of the local auto parts stores even carry it anymore  :005:
