You can also cut the hose in two pieces and use a barbed 5/8" elbow.

Try the spring. That is two less places for it to leak fuel JMHO

I will be sure to put a spring in there or go with a barbed approach, sounds a lot better than a kinked hose.

If you use straight hose, buy a spring to put in the inside so it will bend and not kink making a corner
The large filler hose you can get at flaps and regular hose clamps work OK. JMHO

You are missing the seals inside #11. They are thin rubber sleeves.

This place has all the proper hose clamps. Way better than worm gear. $10 end cutting pliers work almost as good on the ear type as the expensive special tool. They also have original style brass spade connectors.

piece number 11 is the one that I replaced and is now cracking. I don't remember the short number 10 pieces. Did I miss something?

The one I am still needing to get is number 6, and possible number 3 (I suspect a crack in the plastic of the T-Piece).

Sometimes you can find something that works at the local flaps.

A couple years ago I replaced the hose between my fuel tank and where the fuel is pumped in. I noticed it has started cracking out, may start leaking soon. Is there one out there that someone else has used and not had any problems with? Maybe I should have bought a better quality one? Here is what I bought before:

Has anyone else been able to find the short piece of hose that goes on the other side of the tank return? I found the tee-to-tank elbow, but I can't find the other half of that hose or fuel hose of a similar size. Here is what I have now:

I found a website a long time ago that was out of stock, but nothing since.

Thanks,
