After doing my fuel pump, I have big leak when I get gas. It's coming from near the fuel filler hose, so it's either the hose developed a crack, or I blasted a hole in the tank with the pressure washer (its rusty there). I'm betting on the hose being fatigued and cracked. It looks like only one company has a hose specifically for the truck, and that's Spectra-Premium. I think the hose is almost straight. I'd feel a bit more comfortable with a hose from Gates... Rockauto has it by the foot, but there is a 3 foot minimum, or they'll sell 18" sections... I only need about 7"
Gates has smooth hose, and corrugated.
I also thought about buying a short filler neck, and using a longer piece of hose, since that might be easier to get into place, and my filler neck is pretty rusty...that could actually be where the hole is, for all I know.
What have you done?
