fuel filler hose

just spoke w memphis equipt. looking for the fuel filler hose for my 715 they are actually having them made now, expecting them in a few weeks more, they had a run of 100 made i am anxiously waiting for one !

Please let us know the price. Thanks.

Me too! If the price is reasonable, I'm all over it! I hope they last longer than the last one I got. 5 years and it's already rotted and almost looks like it's on the verge of leaking.

I guess I may have jumped the gun. I fabricated this one to fit: http://oshkoshequipment.com/details....uctID=12&pid=8
I hate when that happens

they wont set a price till they have them but ill keep cking in w them till they arrive i hope they arent to expensive but im sure they would be somewhat reasonable if they expected to sell any, yes i heard that a while back white owl had some repro ones that came from the far east and they were a poor rubber and didnt last to long but even those are all gone now. when i get my new one im going to soak in it silicone to help preserve it!

Glad to see that you're pursuing this! I too, need to replace my dead/dry rotted elbow and wondered where I was going to get one, as no one had one on hand....

Are you sure that is a wise idea? I know that silicone helps rubber, but I'm not sure if helps in the long term. I don't know and that is why I'm asking.

yea i dont know, even if it did work im sure the gas would erode it off the inside and it wouldnt make up for a poor quality rubber compound (hopefully that wont be the case!)just proab some occasional applications of amorall to the outside.

Hmmm... I have a gallon of Cosmoline that needs to be slapped on something. Shouldn't affect rubber, but anyone want to confirm that??

Snuffy

I was going to ask about the silicone. What/how does it help rubber?
