After many calls around the country, I found this particular "breather" hose to cost anywhere from $98 to $45. So, I had the breaker pull one, so i can sample it and understand the high cost. After looking at the hose, and scratching my head a few times....i couldnt find the hidden gold in the hose....

From personal experience from building race cars to race bikes, I normally would use highpo hoses from Russel, Earl's...and the like. I sat ther and thought to myself....why not use it for this application...what the heck is the difference!?!?

So, i called around the local speed shops and asked for a 12AN (12an = 12/16inch = 3/4inch) nylon braded fuel hose. Average....$9 a foot....can you believe it!!!!

I will let you all know the outcome when done.....friggin $98...F-that!

 

Are you referring to the fill hose or what?

Danny....this one....

LAND ROVER PARTS - HOSE FUEL TANK VENT DISCOVERY NAS >96

Rediculous...

 

I replaced mine with 3/4 tygon formulation F-4040-A.Ah, the joys of working at an aviation facility... Really, any fuel safe hose should do.

 

Anyone know the exact length. I went under the truck today and it looks like I need to drop the tank. I measured 3 ft...but I want to be exact or a little on the extra side....

 

I was looking for a picture of it but cannot seem to find it. Is it AEL? Mine is Pre-AEL since mine an early 97. Not familar with the hose you refer to, sorry.

 

Danny, I did some quick reseach and cannot tell....any clues?

 

I read Landzu's old post and he measured 3 ft...hope that is right...going to get an extra foot just in case...

 

Alright, I bought 4ft just in case. Next will be the filler hose, which is $17 a foot. Will be getting that from another shop tonight.....

Left is the new, right is the old crap....

 

Take a picture of it as mounted on the vehicle, what year is yours?
