Fuel Line!

The rubber hose that goes from tank to metal line has given up the ghost....... Here is my question..

Will reagular fuel hose (rubber) be okay to use for my diesel? or do I need a special one?

Regular fuel hose should be OK. make sure it's newly manufactured, not something that has been sitting in a warehouse for 20 years. If you haven't already checked all of the other rubber hoses that handle fuel, now's a good time. that includes the little IP return lines, the stub at the end of the IP series, and the cigar hose.

Don't forget to have a gander at the rubber lines at the tank too. They get pretty gross back there.
