Title: sender to hard line on top of tank

I'm guessing these are for the top of the tank. Can anyone confirm before I order?
I have a gas smell in the trunk when I open the deck lid. Thinking the originals have done what they can and need replaced.

TIA

Why not just buy a foot of plain ole FI fuel hose in the three sizes and be done with it? You don't need SAE30R10 for the outside of the tank.

Then I will only have to drop the tank once and hopefully fix the prob(if there is one). I'm thinking maybe the feed line has something wrong with it as my o2 drops at wot. Might have a prob with the pressure line or something. It is a fairly new dw200 pump. Maybe I need the dw300 as others are using.

Post by: TexasT on January 02 2017, 04:59:04 PM: I'll make a note of the sizes so no one else needs to get the shipping rape.

Wow. That is steep for something that could be mailed First Class. Or at least Flat Rate.
