Hi All I am in the process of changing all the fuel system hoses and have found that the hose connecting the filler tube tee to the front tank is not available. The filler tube tee is 1-1/8" and the tank inlet is 1-3/8". I am looking for suggestions for making that connection.

Thank you

Unfortunately these are not the hoses I need. There is a tee in the filler tube, at the front tank, that I need to connect to the tank.

I Googled "1-3/8 fuel hose" a few places have it but it's expensive. Filler Neck Supply has it for $1.50 per inch. Green Line has type 2 hardwall for $8.88 per foot.

Call Applied GMC. I think you'll find that they have the hose you want.

That hose is a molded "T" . GM made it. Check with Cinnabar if Applied GMC
does not have them. Call on their 800 line. It is a free call if that is
what deters you from dialing the phone.

My coach has a brass tee. I did call Cinnabar and it appears that they have the hose needed. I will know in a few days when it gets here.

Thanks

I am able to purchase the straight hose locally. And it is a little pricey.

I got them from Cinnabar for my '75.
I am re-thinking the filler tube though,
'cause there is a lot, a LOT of rust in it.

Les,

What version of coach had a rubber T??
My 73/23 has a metal T as a single piece and the later coaches I have been under have that T as part of the forward fill tube.

It turns out that Cinnabar does not have the hose that is needed.
Now I am back to searching for methods of making the connection between the 1-3/8" tank inlet and the 1-1/8" tee.

Hmm, it's intersting you have a diffrent set up.
I am doing this too, and on the front tank the straight hose
is the same dia.
Least it seems to be, I tried the hose both
ways to be sure I had it right.

I hope you find a solution...

Les,

I am not the most experienced here, but I have had more than a few coaches tanks down and I have never seen a brass T, I think I saw a rubber T on a very late 78.

I do have two suggestions:
Get a fuel fill from a parts coach and use that, or
Get a T made out of small exhaust tubing to join up with the sizes you have.

I like the idea of building a tee to fit the situation. I did find the 15 year old invoice for the molded hose that is no longer available. Times change.

Hopefully, this is the link to a photo of the brass tee - http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/maintenance/p60798-fuel-filler-tee.html

Thanks for the input.
