Re: Fuel Pump Mount Hose? Posted by Gary Stottler [Email] (#1463) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Gary Stottler) on Tue, 2 Jun 2015 06:36:06 In Reply to: Fuel Pump Mount Hose?, DavidDavid, Mon, 1 Jun 2015 16:58:13 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
David,
Thanks very much for the research! While I am not familiar with the SAE standards you quoted, I would bet that current standards are stricter than what would have been required in the '70s. I think you are OK with the fuel filler hose for this application. It might be interesting to pull the pump out every couple of years to see if you can see any degradation, but I suspect that the modern hose is pretty good - likely it has to meet performance requirements for permeation, ethanol, etc., so I don't think it's going to fall apart on you.
If anyone needs the small diameter hose that goes from the pickup to the pump let me know - I have a 25 foot roll of that :-)
Best,
Gary
