    Aux tank hose sizes, type and lengths?

    I'm not expecting a huge reply to this but next weekend Winnie and I are putting in our LRA aux tanks in our gq's.

    Just throwing it out there if anyone has recently done this and know what type, size and lengths we need for the filler and all breather hoses?

    Long shot but worth a try?

    Failing this I might check out Rosscos set up for lengths if I can get to it properly and take the dual filler neck to pirtek for exact sizes etc...

    Ones that fit and don't leak .

    And don't forget to use hose clamps.

    Awesome. Unless someone tells us exactly what we will need the we will just measure Rossco's, add a little bit and take the neck and tank in to them.

    As mentioned the filler hose is the killer.... for the proper stuff it is very expensive.

    Normal fuel line is not a problem and I would get extra in case of stuff ups...

    The breather line is 5/8th and I tried to cheat and use heater hose..... it seams to be ok on my LR tank but on my main tank it has gone hard as a rock..

    The filler hose has to be exactly the right length, if it is too long it will kink and make filling a pain.

    I got Mudski to look into it for me and was shocked and almost did not believe him when he mentioned the price of this hose then I started to look myself...... $$$$$$$$

    I am not sure if there are cheaper options with the filler hose and would be interested myself if there is.
