What hose is this? [PIC]
This hose started leaking on me. I think it's just old and cracked. Could someone tell me what hose this is, and if it's easy to replace, any help is appreciated. thanks.

Unless the clamps are hard to get at it's an easy fix. First try tightening the clamps and see if that stops the leak. If it persists get a 12" piece of 3/8 fuel line, cut to fit and swap them out...

Do these things usually fit on each end of the fuel line and the pump easily? My problem is, Its impossible to see each end of the hose and exactly how it connect. I stuck my hand down there and it feels like a normal metal hose clamp around each end... My main concern is I don't wanna take it off then not be able to get it to a shop to fix or not be able to start it up to show someone who wants to buy it.. but thanks for all the help.

You'll best see it from underneath. Be sure to wear safety glasses!! Gasoline in the eyes is quite painful. Remove it, measure it's length and cut it from a new peice of 3/8 rubber fuel line. Also, get yourself some new hose clamps for the re-install. try to get the kind that are "smooth" on the inner diameter, so as not to damage the fuel line upon tightening. Good luck!

Thats your fuel supply line, if you take it off, you won't be able to run the truck to show to potential buyers, but it won't (I can almost guarantee you) give you any problems when you change it out. Just go buy some 3/8 fuel line, and cut it to fit, problem solved

Thanks guys for the help. I just put it in 30 min ago. Hardest part was tightening the clamps in the small little space.. sorta ackward, but nonetheless I appreciate the help.
