Joe Flanagan Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 I just checked NAPA to see if I could get the short piece of rubber hose that goes from the gas tank to the filler neck. I only need four inches of it. They only sell it in four foot sections--for 90 bucks!! Does anyone know of another source for this stuff? I'm aware it has to be fuel grade. Quote
Young Ed Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 Joe rockauto has it by the foot if you go to extras and look at the fuel section. They had a variety of sizes from about 8-15 a foot. Still sorta spendy but better than $90! Buy a foot and sell the other 3 4in sections to others! Quote
Don Coatney Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 I got the hose I needed from Rodney. But I think it was his last piece. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 try another Napa..ours sells by the foot here locally..or shall I say when I bought what I needed it was by the foot..it is not cheap...Napa rarely is.. Quote
DJ194950 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 joe try another napa store, i bought some from them first of sept. by the foot or more correctly 0.5 foot. cost $14.33 out the door. still very expensive. napa # is either neh 1055 or nbh 1055. can't read their own receipt. maybe better yet, who's their big competitor close by? call them and say "can you believe napa will not sell me 0.5 foot?". happy hunting doug Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Posted October 20, 2011 Thank you, everyone. I might even try Auto Zone, though every time I go in there I feel like I'm interacting with another life form. Quote

littlemo Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) Joe, this may not be the route you want to go, but I bought mine along with the spring clips and gas cap from Andy B... If you need, I'll dig out my reciept for details ??? Cass, alias littlemo .... Add: pulled my reciept, and if I'm reading their writing correctly, paid a total of $27.50 for all. Hose was $12.00.

Plymouthy Adams Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Joe..I stay away from atuo zone for the most part..sorta out of the way for me also..but there are things that they stock that the other stores cannot even locate and mainly that is Gabriel shocks...finding shocks here locally can often be a challenge..my advance store could not get the part numbers I gleaned from the Monroe tech sheet and even when I crossed them myself to Gabriel they were still out in left field..Auto Zone had them in stock and pulled them from the shelf awaiting me to swing by after work and grab them. Memory is they were the only ones to deal with for the shocks on the 51 Suburban also. I work the keyboard and phone long before I drive to any store in my area..

Joe Flanagan Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Posted October 21, 2011 Thanks. I'll check around this weekend if I can get my electrical stuff sorted out. Quote
randroid Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Joe, If you need to get a whole foot I'll buy the other half from you. -Randy Quote
Frank Elder Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Joe,If you need to get a whole foot I'll buy the other half from you. -Randy It would cost more to mail it then the 1/2 foot of hose costs:eek: Quote
Rodney Bullock Posted October 22, 2011 Report Posted October 22, 2011 Hey Joe, I have some of that hose. I don't know where it is:) I know, I know. After I sent Don some of it a guy I know with a antique saw it and had to have some. I put it on the tool box and it dissapeared. I think I got mine from a antique Chevy dealer. It's been a while. This hose is special. Howe much do you need? Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Posted October 22, 2011 I need four inches. I'm going to Auto Zone today to pick up my wheel cylinders and I'll check and see if they have any. Quote
ggdad1951 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Posted October 22, 2011 you know us truck guys...always late to the party, I got hose from Andy Bernbaum's. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 22, 2011 Report Posted October 22, 2011 odds are NAPA is going to be the only game in town for the fuel rated 2.250 hose.. Quote
JerseyHarold Posted October 22, 2011 Report Posted October 22, 2011 I think the hose is listed in the back of the Gates catalog. It may pay to take a look. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 22, 2011 Report Posted October 22, 2011 bad part is that the hose is serviced in either a 3 or 4 foot length..some shops/retailers do not like to piece a hose unless they sell the larger portion first sale..say if serviced 4 foot and customer needs 3..the retialer will get his profit on the 3 foot and then can sell the remainer at a higher "cut fee" rate..

littlemo Posted October 22, 2011 Report Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) Joe; I just remembered, when I bought my 48 P-15 the guy had a 3' (?) section of hose in the trunk he said he was going to use for the "filler hose". I don't know if it has a special fuel rating, but I do know where it is and I can check it out for you. If it's what you need, heck, I'll send you a section for free. Let me know what you're wanting to do, and I'll drag it off the shelf this afternoon and see if there's some identification # on it... Cass, alias littlemo... Add. Joe, just pulled down that hose, it is labelled; Gates # 23936 FUEL FILL HOSE 2 1/4" I.D. ( 57 mm) If you need some of this, e-mail me and provide your mailing address, and I'll send you a section . ( might want to provide me with the length you need ) Edited October 22, 2011 by littlemo Quote

( might want to provide me with the length you need ) Hmmm. Gates 23936 crosses to NAPA NBH 1135 which is different than the NAPA NBH 1055 listed earlier. Looking on the NAPA Online web site it looks like they are both fuel rated and both 2.25" diameter. But the 1135 is rated for 20 psi while the 1055 has no pressure rating at all. My guess is the 1055 is a better match to the original. And a little OT, I noticed that the gas tank drain plug changed early in the P15 production. The very early ones used part 112304 which the standard parts group shows as being a 3⁄8-18 plain brass hollow square head pipe plug. The later 1946 and up P15 production uses part 1122359 which is not in the 1944 standard parts book that I have. The illustration for part type code 14-86-13 shows a recessed head plug for maybe a allen or hex key. Any idea what the specifications are for that plug and/or its associated gasket (part 1122361)?. Thanks! Quote
