Thread: Fuel filler hose, NOS or repro

  1. #1

    Default Fuel filler hose, NOS or repro

    How well are the new manufactured fuel filler hoses that Memphis Equipment sell holding up?

    I had mine for a year, but most of it garage time. It is thick, and the rubber feels fresh and not brittle.
    Thanks, George

    I bought a new one from Memphis as well but for some reason it is chalking up at the bend on the exterior side. I tried a little armour all but it didn't remove the white discolouration. I might try another rubber cleaner/restorer at some point to see if it makes a difference.

    Thanks guys. I'm asking because, I had very poor luck with most of the repro rubber parts that I used on my Army CJ-3B restoration.
    They fell apart in a very short time, so I sought out NOS parts and replaced them all.
    But a hose subjected to fuel vapors, I would prefer something with fresh new rubber if it is good quality.

    The filler hoses that Memphis has are new manufacture, not NOS.

    Mine has been on my truck since 2007 and it looks as good as the day I put it on there, and that with ethanol pump gas.
