I know it was posted awhile back, but who sells them?

Oshkosh Equipment. It's a TP-1700-16 - M715 Fuel Filler Neck.

But I don't think it's the correct part anyway. I e-mailed them about that and never heard a word.



Surely could be made to work, however....

That's not for the m715. Maybe an m37.

Ebay has both the metal filler nozzle and the rubber hose right now. Search for m715.

I saw the parts on ebay I just thought it would be nice to eliminate the odd ball hose. Tim that looks like the one I was thinking of. Thanks

Bah, ya know...

I think it was on the old zone, not the yahoo zone, nor the list zone... but the last iteration... I was espousing the quality and longevity of the replacement from Memphis.

A few weeks ago, I was squirming around on my back under the truck and noticed somewhat alarming cracks on the under side of that hose.

There's gotta be a better solution... and one of these days, Terrapin Fabrications will build it!

(yes, I plan on dragging hippy into my idea: stock neck, modded with metal inside the goofy hose... with a simple coupler to the tank- stock look, last forever)

I believe that the filler pipe pictured here is for the m101 generator trailer that has a gas tank underneath.

The PO modded mine. The tube narrows down under the bed and all I have is a small piece of rubber tubing connecting the pipe to the tank.

I just picked up two more NOS fuel filler hoses @ $74 ea. from Memphis Equipment - get 'em while they're hot!

I got my filler hose from AB for my M725. Could not find any NOS for the 725 so I used one for a 715. I dont remember the price but I know it was not that high. Thinking around $45 but that was almost 2 years ago. Cut off about 3" and worked grate.

This is the best solution I've seen. Any idea what the PO fabbed it from? Looks like it belongs on the truck...
