Blazer tank hoses - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have been all over the place trying to find a hose that will fit the 1 1/4" inlet.
It is measured in ID and the only hose I can find is the same measurement but isn't flexable enough to slip over the pipe. Where are you finding your fill hoses?

WES at Classic Heartbeat has the hose your looking for. He sells it by the foot. Here's his info.

I purchased mine from a local speed shop in Miami.

The one you need has a very hard and stiff spring that runs through it. I got mine at OReilys and I think they can get about any size you need. Try your different parts stores. It is expensive.

the end with the cap? It is 1 1/2" the same as Hugger's but with a 30 deg. bend.

myoldchevytruck · 02-14-2008, 01:44 AM

Mine is 2" and I reduced it down to 1 1/4".

cameeks · 02-14-2008, 01:54 AM

I did the same I just cant get the right 1 1/4". The OD of the tank is 1 3/8" and the ID of the hose is 1 1/4"

cameeks · 02-14-2008, 01:57 AM

With the wire in the hose it is a little hard to strech it. I had it sitting in running hot water for a bit and it seems to have opened a little. If I get this to work It will be a temp deal until I can get a better peice. I'm planing on one more total tear down of the truck befor I'm done.

cdowns · 02-14-2008, 02:18 AM

i've always gotten fuel hose at boat supply places

myoldchevytruck · 02-14-2008, 02:26 AM

As stated earlier WES has it in stock. He sells both the blazer tank and the fuel ine. So I know it fits. But like Mudder stated, it's pricey. If I remember, he gets about $11.00 a foot.

Here's his number again:

I bought a line from one of the vendors and unfortunately it was too big. I ended up going to a local rubber hose supply company and they had the exact size in a rubber hose that was speced for fuel delivery in stock. The just cut it to size.

Mudder · 02-14-2008, 06:31 AM

There are two kinds that will work. One has the spring in it and will bend in a slow 90. The other without the spring is bad for collasping when it is bent. My OReilys stocks the stuff. I guess I could call and see if there is a prt#.
