Re: Can I squeeze 1 3\8 hose over a 1 1\2 tube?
Farm bruro(sp) is decent but I have had bad experinces with one particular adjuster. He would make you want to choke him. But then again, I worked with another from FB and he was just as nice as can be. So sometimes insurance companies get bad raps because of there employees.
I hope it all works out for you. Oh and I'll about guarantee they'll want total it out. But you can buy it back but I not sure what the percentage they ask for when it comes time to get it back.

Re: Can I squeeze 1 3\8 hose over a 1 1\2 tube?
Right before the wreck I found a 1 3/8 to 1 1/2 at oreilly then took the 1 1/2 side and streached it to 2".
so i just gotta find 4-6" of 1 3/8" fuel hose to connect adaptor to fuel neck, then find some 1 1/2" hose to go up to the s10 fuel filler.. HE HAS INSURANCE!!!!!!!!!!!! I get a rental car and everything lol and they pay for my tow bill etc adjuster is supposed to come out tomorow maybe...whats the next step guys?

Re: Can I squeeze 1 3\8 hose over a 1 1\2 tube?
well think of it this way. now you have a side panal to practice putting in a filler door. (bad joke I know) you see the pic and you say "ow!"
youre doing the same thing I am., trying to fit a 1 3/8 fuel hose over a 1 1/2 neck. I got the hose at o reillies. (they undercharged me. gave the the whole four foot section for 11.99!!) I have a heat gun like for paint stripping and I was going to use that to stretch over the filler neck. I hope it works!

Re: Can I squeeze 1 3\8 hose over a 1 1\2 tube?
I had a similar issue with my 73 motorhome. I asked to go behind the counter and look at the pre-form radiator hose rack and found exactly what I needed there. No idea what it was for but it has worked fine for my fuel filler tube.

use 1 1/2 hose and clamp it down to 1 3/8 with a good band clamp. i did that on mine and it worked fine. if you have to have 1 3/8 industrial rubber and gasket in nashville keeps it in stock.

Re: Can I squeeze 1 3\8 hose over a 1 1\2 tube?
there are specialty shops that carry all kinds of hose. look in the phone book. around here it is called "house of hose", and whatever you get must be rated for fuel. you would be amazed at the needs of farming, trucks, industrial millatary etc and that these places have these odd sizes.
