<FontFamily><param>Times New Roman</param><bigger>Gates makes several sizes of
large gasoline-approved flex hose
for these kinds of applications. I'd suggest going to a large auto-
parts warehouse that sells to the public (they're still around if you
look) and find one that will let you go into the back and match
something up.
good luck!

Howdy: I took my 1955 Imperial into the tire shop for the tire
rotation and they discovered a gas leak in the rubber FLEX
CONNECTOR which is a rubber part with clamps and bolts
attached to the gas pipe which joins up to the gas tank itself. The
part is not a standard hosewith clamps which the local gas station
can order. Or if they could they couldn't be bothered to call a
supplier. I contacted Gary Goers and he does not have the part.
It is located at the tank end of the line on the pipe that goes to the
tail light where you put gas into the tank when you go to the gas
station. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Like a lot
of things which had to be purchased and replaced in the
restoration of a car this old; the local gas station in Beverly Hills
couldn't be bothered to call up a supplier and locate the part. I am
always on my own in this department. Someone out
there must know and have had to deal with an old rubber flex
connector .......... many thanks, Doug/Los Angeles
