OK stupid me decided it was probably a good idea to drain my gas tank and put new gas in before trying to fire up my car. Well i did accomplish this by pulling the fuel filler rubber hose off the tank and managed to get a little tear in it. I assumed i could get it from any autoparts store no problem. Guess i was wrong cause i went to 2 different ones and they cant get it and said it its probably dealer only or i have to go to a diesel shop???? cause its supposed to be a special kind of rubber? I assumed its just a regular rubber hose, just has a 90 degree bend in it? Anyone ever replace thiers, or anyone have a quick solution? thanks

Well the refused to sell me a radiator hose with the bend i need due to them saying it would start eating it away almost instantly. Right now i have it rigged back on with some RTV silicone (gas resistant kind) and duct tape. It looks like it might hold till i can get one from the dealer.
As for the train plug, the underside of my car is so rusty and corroded i thought that would end up doing more damage trying to pull it out. LOL guess i was wrong. -------------------- 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS- Pretty daily driver
