Fuel filler hose help please!
I'm putting a Boyd side fill tank in my 68 swb fleetside and need help finding a 2 inch ID molded fuel filler hose. I know I could use two pieces of hose and a coupler but I was hoping to find a molded hose instead. I'm looking for something with a 90 degree bend and a 24 inch leg on one end and a 8 inch leg on the other. Gates has a 2 inch ID. 90 degree hose that's 15 inches on each end but I would need to add 9 inches to it with a coupler and would rather not do it that way. Does anybody have any ideas.
Thanks! Jim |

Spectre makes a ton of wild tubes for air intakes on 4-bangers, they might have something, though I don't know if their silicon construction is fuel safe. You'd think an intake tube would have to be but you never know.

Re: Fuel filler hose help please!
I am working on the same thing. I fit a boat fill into my 72 blazer side. It fits nice but is 1.5 inches. Need to get a transition to 2 inches. Silicone reinforced hoses don,t seem to be made for fuel. So my options are exhaust reducer 2 to 1.5 or try a silicone reinforced reducer hose at the top, only has fuel on it for a couple minutes when your putting fuel in. There is another post with the 2 inch fill coming up to a fuel door inside the bed, it looked like a good option.

I really didn't want to use the "F" word (Ford)
But try looking at a "Fox" body mustang, (87-93) The fuel filler may be just what you are looking for. Ben ![]() P.s. I bought a foot long piece of 1 1/2" fuel hose at NAPA, that was about $30...... I think the mustang piece at pick n pull would be like $5.00 Last edited by snipescastle2; 03-07-2016 at 02:42 PM. Reason: adding |

Re: Fuel filler hose help please!
Thanks for all the replies guys. I tried a marine supply store and they don't have what I need and tried to sell me some flexible stuff for $56.00 a foot! I have a filler neck but I need the hose. I decided to use a 90 degree Gates fuel hose and a stainless coupler with a straight piece of Gates hose. The one piece idea would have been better but can't find the stuff. I can guarantee one thing for sure though. After I get this all hooked up I'l find what I'm looking for.
