Hose size for gas tank?

Maxxx · Sep 23, 2018

There are four hoses coming out of the upper driver's side of the gas tank on my 72 satellite. Can anyone tell me what the inside diameter of each is? Bonus points if you can also tell me the length

See attached pic, I'm leaking fuel and wish to replace all four hoses and clamps.

It looks like someone has beaten you to it. Those do not look like original clamps.

1/4" and 5/16"

Be very careful pulling off those rubber hoses. I'd suggest you cut them lengthwise with a razor blade & peel them off. Those little hose nipples are fragile & just soldered in place.

Yeah I think I may already have a problem with the tank nipples

but I'll see

Original clamps were pinch clamps

Roger that, thanks idrive. The car was recently restored with new fittings all over etc

Well, the good news is those tank nipples can be brazed back into place at a radiator shop if necessary. You will need to be ultra, ultra sure you have all the gas out & the vapors are completely evaporated or it will go "boom"
