gas filler tube hose

[94 lngbd]

Is it the same size on both ends?

Im temporarily building a wooden flat bed for my 7ft range rso I can do some projects to the bed & also on the weekends I'll be removing flatbed to start installing rear cross members & Bronco II 23 gal tank.

Due to the design that im building the flatbed I need to have the longer section after the bend attached to the tank & vice / versa.

Currently my truck has been my daily driver,& that need to change also, so I need to get this flatbed finished TODAY so I will have it done for work on Tuesday.

Have a Suzuki Swift that has a wiring short going to the fuel pump & it gets twice the MPG as my 4cyl Ranger,when It was on the road last.

I don't really know I never looked at it that much... I guess just measure and make sure... Mine was in bad need of being replaced which I should do soon.

The same diameter? Yes. But the inner pipe will be a pain coming out. I was looking into why a siphon hose is so difficult to get in there for another member, so I took my old one apart. It was a PITA, so I eventually just cut the outer pipe out. Here's some pics if it helps.

Where did you get your new one from & how much was it & is that a band clamp on the smaller tube a crimp clamp or a screw type clamp. Im wondering why a person couldn't swap ends & trim the longer end.

After all its surrounded by the larger hose which must be just for the overflow at the filler neck to flow back into the tank.

I got it off of Ebay for 35 dollars shipped from this guy in the link. It was here in 2 days, but it was shipped from AZ to UT (might be a touch longer for you).

Car Parts Wholesale now has it for 30 dollars shipped though:

It's crimped on. I don't know what the reasoning is behind the extra 10 inches or so of pipe is on the tank end.

I may be wrong, but it appears that it also serves as a ventilation for the fuel tank, and it works in conjunction with the gas cap. I only got that from observation though - I could be wrong. I would bet someone who is a Ford Tech or a Safety/IM certified tech could verify my thoughts or not.

Maybe this ventilation system is also part of the reason for the extra pipe on the one end?
