where to buy hose for shaving gas lid/relocation
Saturday, November 15, 2008 8:02 PM
Aright......Quick question I'm looking for fuel hose to extend the location of the filler neck since I'm shaving my gas door on the red car. Can anyone point me to where I might look to buy some? I did a few searches and pm'ed a few people who have done the relocation but they have yet to respond. any help is appreciated.

the stuff from lowes cant withstand the gas for very long. BUT Napa has some gas filler hose. either streight or i believe they have flexible also. and they have it and can get it in all different sizes. they sell it per .25 feet also. at least the one around me does

Zach- Thanks for the tip but i'll pass on the lowes hose.....hehe that rhymes....since it's not made to hold up to gas.

Wojo-I'll look into the napa thats local. The peps at vato zone looked at me like i was stoned and the people at advances said they didn't have fuel hose bigger than3/8 in stock.

Funny thing about mine is that I was not able to locate any place that had fuel hose that large. I went to the junk yard and got a fuel filler hose from a new Impala and it fit like it was stock!

Cavalier2000: does it say on that hose that it's made for gas? because it really looks like a marine purpose water intake hose... and a quick google reveals its meant to be used as coolant hose... just saying i would check on it before the rubber gets eaten through.

hmm finalyl good news now what did everyone do for the vacume line that comes back up the fill tube??? and cavalier 2000 shouldent you be a little worries about having rubber fule hose rubbing against sharp metal i would think that you should probably drill it out a little more and put a gromet of some kind in there. also what did you gusy use to make the hole just a hole saw the size for a door???

mine is by no means done. I need to seal that off and find out what kind of filler head i am going to use...stupid car doesn't move anyway.

Rich. I thought the same thing but it is the exact same type of hose that I used on my old truck....7 years and 100k miles later it is still holding up
