If the dealer would have the part, I suspect it would be dried out by now. I used a short length of 5/16 fuel injection hose (strong hose!) made by Prestone. You will need 2 clamps.

Because this hose is just a bit larger in outside diameter than OEM, the clamp must be placed over the bottom nipple before the hose is pushed down over same nipple. Then tighten bottom clamp. Top clamp is SOP.

On my car, I was having problem starting the cold engine - long crank times. I figured that it was draining back to the tank. It was, but because the return fuel line was just cracked enough to allow air to enter the fuel line and let the gas drain. Hard starts were cured with this simple fix.


On B.B.'s 1995 850, the line split enough to spray gas all over the engine and it caught fire - car totaled, and a melted mess. The rear wheels and spare could be salvaged, that's all.
