You are absolutely correct as to the definition of "caustic." I was using sloppy language and should have said "poison" or some such other better equivalent ;)

My tanks (both 122s) didn't have a piece of hose, is that a wagon peculiarity? I agree that hoses should be replenished regularly. I have a seal under the cap and one around the filler neck where is protrudes through the body.

I should know better than to talk in generalities with cars that underwent evolutionary change over the course of their production... sigh.

Ja, diesel is "thicker" but I meant that it is less likely to produce fumes that will be explosive under normal operating conditions than gasoline and it is more "friendly" to the system than water (if you are leery of using water).

The fuel line is probably 5/16" but the ding-dong fittings were definitely metric. I used flare-wrenches where I could (to no avail) and they are particularly sensitive to being the correct size. I agree that is was an odd place (especially as the pipe-thread in the tank was 1/4"IP).
