Gas Tank Questions

[Marty Rogan]

I am just getting started withthis project. Just ordered that hose from Chloe last week. she did not have the number, but I got it from another member and ordered it from her. The number I am getting is: 17235-E4101, around $30 like Gary said. Hope to get the part this week.

THE UPDATE : well went to a marine store wanted to charge me 3.79 a foot for hose , told them where they could store that hose, decided to order all the hoses from Chloe < thank you for being a great help with my car> . I replaced the sending unit which for future info goes in with the black ring connection at the top , and I replaced every line and clamp from the head of the motor to the tank itself excluding the filler tube < looked good> , and get this I fired it up after a 2-3 month sitting and it ran like a raped ape < no expierence in this matter just a great term I thought> but quickly saw I had a new issue , the float on my rear carb had stuck thus giving me the pretty and very dangerous gas fountain , took the float apart and I see the shutoff valve sticks as the float rises < rebuilt them with bv inexpensive rebuild kit> ordered new ones from Z therapy as well as other things , so hopefully I will be roadworthy soon

FWIW, EScanlon and myself provided some info about 2-1/2 years ago on this very same topic. Granted, it took me about 5 minutes to find the thread, but I found it. Good information for those facing this problem.

Seerex, the boat place was going to rip you off on the hose. I paid about $1.25 per foot for the fuel lines at NAPA, including the 5/8" dia. hose.
