Is the vent line going to the filler neck something special? I noticed yesterday that it has a crack at the top and has been leaking for quite a while. I have not taken it apart yet but it appears to be just 1/2" or so gasoline hose.

1/2" fuel hose in the wheel well. Metal down the frame and i think 3/8" to the tanks. Or 5/16". But I am guessing your 1/2" chunck is all that has not been renewed.
I would still buy gates barrier hose.

Ken, It has been only few years since the manufactures did not figure out
how to overcome the Ethanol deteriorating the older rubber, even few years
old.
Just use the Standard 1/2 " fuel line,make sure it is not the Old stock.
Since the 1/2 " does not move as much, you can easily get one couple years
old.

Thanks everyone. Oreiliies shows it in stock locally. I'll measure it and go get a piece before I tear this one out. I wanted to make sure that it was not something unique to the GMC Like the filler tube (I believe 1") connect likes and elbow.
