Leaking 75 Fleetside Gas Tank Filler Neck: Easy fix?

Everytime I fill up, it leaks gas from the rubber hose that goes from the gas gap to the tank. Can I just replace that rubber hose with a standard rubber hose, or do I have to order that part specifically?

Tim,

If you can find the part, it will be easier.

Don't forget that you'll have to use fuel-rated hose there. When I bought that at NAPA the other day in 1/2" diameter, it was $30 for a 3-foot length. Maybe cheaper to get the preformed piece.

Thumbs up

I agree, buy the fuel rated hose and fix it right the first time!
