Re: [DML] Fuel Pick Up Hose Substitute.

[jus4sho@xxxx]

I'd like to back Robert up on this one. When I made the first attempt to 
redo my in-tank fuel system, I needed both the pickup hose and a return hose. 
I did nuy the original pickup hose, but tried to make my own return line. 
(Even the metal part of my original was rusted out.) The replacement return 
line I fabricated was a combination of metal line, like the original and 
rubber FUEL HOSE from a local part store. The setup was in the car, (but not 
really driven) for about a year when I had to reopen the tank. THE ENTIRE 
OUTER LAYER OF THE "FUEL HOSE" WAS GONE. The middle layer of cord was 
showing. As Robert stated (and I know now) even "fuel hose" is only 
gasoline resistant on it's inner layers. As much as I hate to admit it, the 
original parts are the only way to go here. I have since ordered the new 
parts from DMC Houston.
