My coach has a three rubber hoses connecting metal pipes between the filler cap and the tank. The middle one started leaking badly on my last fillup. This hose is a straight section 5-1/2" long. Should be simple enough to replace, right?
I measured the pipe going into the hose and it is 2" diameter. However, the pipe on the tank side is only 1-3/4". I haven't cut off the old hose yet and it is possible the tube has an expanded section on the end that will seal in a 2" i.d. hose. Or maybe the 2" hose will clamp down on the smaller pipe, but that seems a lot to ask of the clamp.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Tom
