looking for fuel tank help

so i installed the 38 gallon tank in the rear.
when i removed the old tank the fuel filler (rubber) tube was cut to remove the tank.
so my question is what kind and size tubes am i looking for from the tank to the fuel door.
also where can i pick them up at?

^^^^ Or craigslist part-out, or classifieds on this or the other forums.

To anyone else considering this mod, it takes the two minutes to remove the three screws for the filler neck from the bedside, so you can pull the filler neck/hose out without cutting it.

Yea filler hosses can be a bear.we have a rubber place locally that has any size and material I could ever need and I go there and get stuff.if a hose with different end sizes I neededthen it gets much harder.

what was cut, the rubber hose or the metal fill tube?
i got to a marina for my fuel fill hose. it is expensive, but i know i am getting good hose.

i heard NAPA carries it too, but not sure if in your area.

well the only reason BOTH front and back were cut was...when i pulled into the scrap yard i thought i had it all disconnected!
so the idea was to have two folk trucks pierce each side of the bed and me drive off. i thought i had it 100% disconnected but when the flok trucks lifted it was still connected by clamps on each hose.
so the guys at the scrap metal yard just cut em'

You don't need the smaller inner tube, its only a vent. Run a separate vent to allow faster fill ups.

any good auto parts or marina store will carry fuel fill hose. it is sold by the inch instead of by the foot like heater hoses.

The trouble with that Tom is that they are straight and very stiff. I say get both parts and use a coupler, exhaust pipe or whatever.
