Been away form my computer for a while.

Just wanted to expand upon trymeimhard's solution:

Make *SURE* you get the right hose. Any hose not designed specifically for fuel will eventually degrade and send bits of rubber into your engine... which is very, very bad.

Good luck

Default Update 2

Ok so I think I got it taken care of. Went to the local parts store and got the hose, clamps and tube cutter. Cut the bad part of the line out (which was a pain in the A**) and installed the new hose. This is what I come up with, bare with me i forgot to take the pics before I put the tank back up lol.

Now the only problem I have is this....

When the strap broke on the tank it dropped the filler neck down and broke the housing, now I have it rigged up with some good ol army 550 cord until I can figure out how to put it back the way it was. It still won't reach up to where it's supposed to be. Any thoughts?
