Fuel filler hose
I've noticed my '97 Dakota dribbles fuel when filling up. It's a northern truck and the fuel filler pipes are eat up with rust. No problem. The first truck I checked had a pristine fuel filler assembly. Nice shiny metal with NO rust. 4 screws and a couple of hose clamps and out it came. Once out, I noticed a fairly large hole in the main filler hose. I cannot find a listing for that puppy anywhere. Evidently it was a replacement for a rotted factory part. Anybody got any ideas? I've checked Ebay, dedicated Dodge truck parts vendors, Rock Auto and so on. It has part numbers so I'm going to see if Vatozone has plain rubber hose or maybe the dealer can run the part number. It's just a straight hose about 12 inches or so long.
Anybody got any ideas in case I come up empty?

If you have the part number, let google try and find one for ya. Unfortunately, anyone that lists it, whether they have one or not, will show up in the results.....
It's pretty heavy duty hose, has to stand up to gasoline after all..... Not sure where you would find something like that... Hydraulic shop maybe??

After I entered 1.5 inch, it popped up. According to Fleabay it's for a 1999-2004 Dakota but the specs are the same as mine. They are also NOT cheap. $35-$65 for a foot of hose.

I don't patronize Amazon on general principles. It gets a cut of sales it doesn't touch. I bought a seat cover once that didn't fit. It wasn't much, about $75 which for a good seat cover isn't bad. When it didn't fit, the seller refunded me what they got for it. $18. It was a Chinese made cover sold through Amazon. None of that was in the Ebay listing. Since then I've looked around and Amazon does a lot of listing without actually having stock to sell. They also play games with shady sales tactics. Amazon Prime comes to mind. There are a lot of hidden fees.
I did visit the link though. Most of the hoses are molded and will put strain on the fuel fill system. The one straight piece is 4 feet long and about what other places are wanting.
