I have a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD 5.9(360). Found a hole on the top section of the fuel vent return hose,,,probably a squirrel chewed it. I called my local Dodge dealer and they told me that hose is no longer available through them!..Several parts stores have been unable to help even after coming out to the truck and looking at the hose...Does anyone know what size this hose is? and who might sell it? Also, I am thinking about replacing the whole fuel filler neck altogether since the truck spent most of its life in Minnesota, the neck is really rusty...doesn't look too hard to replace. Anyone have any experience with aftermarket parts with this item?...
Thanks for any help and advice...

Tried a junk yard?

 

Not yet..was hoping to buy a new hose....as far as the fuel filler itself, i will look around.

 

Cut the hose, and measure the inside diameter. Go to the parts store, and see what they have in fuel-resistant hose that size. Or even the hardware store.

Could try checking out LMC truck, and see if they have anything.

 

LMC truck..great site...thank you

 

So, I keep coming across this for the hose part numbers. Vent Hose - 1994-1997 Dodge Ram - Gas - Single Wheel - Sweptline.....what is the sweptline?...

and there is this..Vent Hose - 1994-1997 Dodge Ram - Gas - w/o Sweptline....

 

Found Fuel fill hose at NAPA. It is a 1 3/4" size hose for about 9 dollars for 1 foot, with the 2 clamps. still looking for the vent hose. It is a 3/4" size..

 

I found the 3/4" vent hose at a golf cart repair store. They had a large supply of different size hoses for gas powered carts. $7 dollars for 1 foot with the 2 clamps.

 

Well. have everything in place and all seems to work well, but now my fuel gauge doesn't work, any relation???? There shouldn't be but just wondering?

 

Check the electrical connector at the tank. May have bumped it loose.
