Who sells 1-1/4" fuel hose???!!!!

I'm swapping the plastic tank from my '72 to my '70. It's temporary till I work out something better with a steel tank. But none of the loser stores within 50 miles of me seem to carry the filler neck hose! Am I going to have to order this stuff?

That's exactly where I found it, finally. One foot length--for $25. It better last forever.

Amazing what you can post when you are sweating and angry, with dirt and rust flakes in your eyes and gas in your hair.

I have always purchased mine from a local industrial hose supply house, a place that specializes in making hydraulic lines and fuel hose for just about anything.
They even make up custom brake lines using your original brake line fittings.

Had to use two chunks of hose with a piece of curved tubing clamped in the middle to make the connection without a kink in the hose to the filler neck. I'm assuming the repro steel tanks have the same problem?
