Gas filler problem
I have a 37 Tudor. I bought a new tank from Tanks Inc. Perfect fit. I put the filler on, and used the rubber hose between the filler and the tank. When I put in gas. Part of it leaks out. I cant crank on that clamp much more before it breaks. I already broke one. Still leaks. Is there a trick to getting that filler hose to seat?? Thanks

Re: Gas filler problem
Look for defects like cracks, deformed metal or hose, foreign objects at sealing surface, is hose seated over bead, clamp not crossing bead, etc. Also a picture is helpful.

Re: Gas filler problem
Could you use a rubber coupler sold in the Home Depot plumbing/sprinkler area?

Re: Gas filler problem
What kind of clamp are you using? Some are much better than others and you can get them tighter without breaking them.

Re: Gas filler problem
Did you use a new rubber hose? They can dry out and get stiff so they dont seat and compress well....... Mark

What I had to buy was 36" diesel and gas steel core hack off what you need and sell to Fordbarners or ebay. |

Re: Gas filler problem
I have 2". I will look for the 1 7/8". I bought a flex hose from Drake, and it cracked and leaked after one year sitting. I will check with Tanks Inc. They might also have the hose. As far as the rubber cuppler goes. The gas would melt the rubber. A plumber told me to use two clamps. One on the other side. When you tighten them up. It will tighten it on both sides and not have a kink it it anywhere. Thanks for the help.. Al

Re: Gas filler problem
That is the kind of hose clamp I was using. Torqued down on it, and it snapped right off the track. I will try those double wire guys and see if that works.

Re: Gas filler problem
I used a gas hose with a radiator clamp. I already know not to use a radiator house. The gas will break down the rubber used in that hose.
