Fuel tank filler neck question (F350 dually - Centurion Ed.)

Recently I acquired a 1995 F350 - Centurion Edition, dually.

The midship fuel tank, according to the previous owner, has not been working for at least three years now. The fuel hose is cracked all to hell too.

My knowledge and experience in doing this job is at or near the bottom.

My question is this: is it possible to "fabricate" a midship fuel filler hose myself, connecting the filler neck to the tank? I'm asking because this filler neck/hose assembly is discontinued....and I cannot locate a replacement part. I've searched junk yards, obscure sites, the Bronco Graveyard, everywhere.

I bought a simple Spectra F14C fuel tank, and Powerco fuel pump + sending unit assembly.

If anyone has any input on a solution and/or work-around that will solve my fuel neck/hose issue, I would be most grateful.

I swear to God, a dually midship fuel filler neck for a 1995 460 7.5L gas engine does not exist.

what i have done in the past on a beater tuck is went to a parts store, explained the situation to them and matched up a radiator hose that was close as far as the bend and what not and made it work. It got me by.

Radiator hose, eh? I never would have thought of that. Thank you for the input!

A radiator hose is durable enough for gasoline, yes?

Rad hose might work, although I don't know how it will handle the gasoline. On my buddy's '86 dually when his filler necks went bad, we took the old ones to an exhaust shop and had them bend an identical piece out of steel exhaust tube, then just used two short pieces of rubber hose with clamps on either end to attach it.

Those filler necks are obsolete and this was the best solution we could find. Someone needs to start repopping them.

fill necks are all the same, it does not matter if it is a F150 with 300 six cylinder or 460 V8.
i go to a marine supply and buy a piece of boat fuel tank hose. they sell it by the foot.

The dually fill necks are different. As are the diesel fill necks and the dually diesel fill necks are different than a gas dually.

They list filler necks on Rock Auto.

Filler necks 1996 F350

Could one of these be made to work for you?

Fabricating a steel hose at a shop is a great idea. I am going to do exactly the same.

Thank you for the great suggestion.

Unfortunately, neither of these filler necks will solve my problem.

Rock Auto is a great site. Thank you for the suggestion!
