I’m looking to replace the clear fuel hoses on my 77 300D.
I checked with Phil at Fast lane, and he does not show them.

Does any one know the part numbers or how to locate them?

I went w/ non clear and placed inline filters as windows.

Yeah I spoke Phil, HE said he could find them. I thought I read a few posts about guys having him located them. Id rather use them instead of the non clear. I got a set for my 97 six month ago.

you can diagnose air leaks with the OEM clear lines.....just try doing that with black line home brews....

Maybe someone can help me figure out what going on here. The car starts right up when cold and runs great. Shut it down and wait a few minutes then when it starts it has almost no power for a few minutes. You can literaly floor the gas (Diesel) pedal for a 2 count before it revs up. Drive the cars and it regains proformance.

I think it begain after I replaced the fuel tank fitted hose, I ran the tank way down to drain it.

I changes the filters just before I ran the tank to near empty.

I replaced the primer pump already and snugged up all the clamps and connections. The clear lines are brown so I can't see anythin inside them.

When replacing these hoses, you should also replace the associated copper washers. I think 2 different sizes are used. I do not have those part numbers handy.
