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....

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?
I was going to ask why John has a gallon of Cosmoline. The truth behind both would be neat since I don't know about silicone either.
its of course used in plug wires now an i have seen them lay on a exh manifold and not burn or harden, and its the rage now in bakeware all shapes of pans, in the oven over an over an always good as new an nothing sticks to it. i [I]think[I] most of the tire shine and armorall type products use it in their formulas, its heat an uv resistant, but its bad for paint and glass as its almost impossible to remove the residue and then you cant get paint to stick well to those surfaces .
Doesn't everyone have a can of Cosmoline sitting around???:D
So Tim doesn't sit up at night worrying: I have it for coating Parkerized guns. Works like a champ for keeping rust at bay in a marine environment. It was also the smallest size (actually it's a half-gallon) offered at Brownell's when I had the need.
I was thinking guns, but the scale of weapons needed to apply even a 1/2 gallon to had me wondering. Brownell's is one of those web sites that will suck the day away from you in a hurry.
So, if a person didn't paint the fuel filler hose, a good dose of silicon based something would probably help it last longer. On the outside at least. We have the wonderfull new formula gas on the inside to work on it as well.
As far as a new production run of them, I think it is great. I have a NOS never used spare in my shop, but would consider buying a repro if it keeps the supply coming.
Well, the reason I asked is cause I bought a bunch of chemicals in 5gal buckets back in spring. One of the buckets is liquid silicone. I haven't figured out what I want to use it for.
