Fuel filler hose

[MitsuDriver274]

After sitting for quite some time, I filled up the tank in my VR4. Was welcomed the next morning with a pool of gasoline under the car.

The replacement hose is now discontinued, I did not have any luck finding a new hose. I was able to piece something together, figured I'd share what I was able to cobble up.

41MM Molded 90
41MM Molded 45
41MM Coupler

Used my old hose as a reference to cut the new hose, used the old zip tie mark as a reference for the splice.

New hose fits very well.

Nice work! That's sure to help out some people in need of the filler hose. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rock.gif

Thank you for this. I was dreading the day it would come to this, but now I have no worries.

Great write-up! Definitely going to help a lot of people. I know mine is almost there...

I love that after all the years of people suggesting this when it happened, not only did someone do it, but took detailed pictures to help future folks. Nice work /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Thank you. I noticed mine is cracked at the bottom and this came at the right time before I come off from jsb.

Thank you for taking the time to write this up. Im bringing 202 back to life and this was the first problem i came across after sitting for so long...

I didn't think of this earlier, but as the failure of the original hose is basically (those I have seen) cracking at the lower elbow (left end of the original hose in the pictures above), you could just splice a 90* elbow to the original hose in the same manner with the joint.

Just another thought.

 

[makedollarz]

Mine was leaking from the lower elbow as you mentioned. I guess i could have got away with just replacing the lower portion i didnt think about that either. Parts will be here tomorrow.

Parts are no longer available, anyone else have another fix or part numbers for replacement's for these in the write-up? Anyone making a 1-Piece replacement by chance?
