Hello everyone, new to the forum, tried searching for the solution and found nothing.

So I replaced my fuel pump on my 1997 Blazer 4x4. There is a ribbed plastic hose that goes from the pump to the underside of the sending unit. I had to cut it to get it off.

I couldn't find a replacement hose, so I used fuel line pressure hose and clamps and put that in the place of the ribbed plastic hose

My question is... Will the rubber deteriorate being emerged in gasoline? I have a test piece of hose in a jar full of gas outside to see. But just wondering what everyone else used for this piece of hose?

Thanks

If it is a fuel grade hose, then no, you should have no problems.

 

i'm hoping that is the case, i just don't want to be driving up north and having it pop off or break inside while im driving.

THanks for the reply
