Actually pulled all the hoses, cleaned the nipples, made sure the clamps work smooth.
The filler hose is the only one showing evidence of failure...the cracks on the outside of the hose. Why I don't see them on the inside I can't explain.
I think if they were cracked on the inside, I would see spillage.
I'm thinking that the inside wall of the hose is good enough to keep the liquid inside but the vapors go through. I'm guessing that is what is happening.
I'll have to try to cross ref. to another model, but pretty sure it was unique to the pre '73 145.
