Breather hose on filler neck

Post by ktzdsl »

What do you use to replace the breather hose with spring inside that connects between the filler neck and the fuel tank on diesels? The size is 15.5 mm x 2,5 mm x 850 mm. The length is actually about 18 inches.

Closest fuel resistant line I have found is 5/8", but the walls are too thick.

The original has endured at least 30 years of heat in Texas and had hardened and shrunk about 2" and pulled off of the filler neck of my 1982 caddy. TIA.
Nothing makes a failure but a try!
