Hi All

Been doing a lot of work on my truck, new shocks, steering shaft, bushes, exhaust to name a few. So today for the first time since I have had it here in Australia I went to put gas in, both the midships and rear fuel tanks leak from the connector hose (between the fuel cap and tank), the tanks themselves to not leak.

So my question is are the a "special part" or can I replace with any gas tank hose? I am thinking I should order the correct hose/parts etc from LMC etc?

Thoughts?, I was actually wondering why it leaks when the tank is only like 1/4 full from the connector hose which is higher then the tank etc.

Cheers again to all that reply!

Leaks when filling correct? Hose must be cracked, deteriorated or the clamps are loose I would guess. I have a brand new in the bag fill hose for the rear tank, I would imagine S+H would be cost prohibitive as I assume you are in Aus?

 

Yep confirmed hose is cracked last night, sorry that do you mean by (S+H)? (Shipping and Handling)? Yep I am in Australia but dont mind paying shipping........when needed

 

Order all the new parts from LMC truck today, hopefully they will be here in a week or so.

This is why I had to replace them.......think I have going to have to remove the bed for this but hoping I may not. Both Tanks need doing. Also think I could just drop the tanks and reconnect from the tank end first back up so at the same time I could service the tanks (treat them and respray)?
