Fuel tank filler hose

Anyone ever have occasion to replace the fuel tank filler hose on an M1008? I cut mine apart while taking down the fuel tank, and the replacement I ordered from LMC doesn't fit. Looks like the original was wider on the filler side than on the tank side, by quite a bit. The LMC one is the same on both ends. LMC normally calls out when things are different for diesel. I'm wondering, is this unique to CUCV's? Maybe they were standardizing with other military stuff that takes a bigger fill nozzle or something?


For now I tried to patch my old hose with silicone and duct tape :rolleyes: - hopefully I can get to the bottom of this and find a real replacement.



By the way, anyone ever replace the fuel tank on their M1008?

you should be able to expand the end of that hose enough to fit? if not then try using a piece of pvc or abs pipe with a couple of hose clamps to splice the old one together temporarily

Well, unfortunately I sliced it long ways because it was sized onto the filler neck. I sliconed down the slit on both sides and duct taped around it. Maybe it'll seep a little, maybe not. As long as I don't overfill it, it's just a funnel I guess, there shouldn't be fuel sitting in there.

I tried to stretch the new one, but it's very different in size. I don't think it's possible. I read someplace that the CUCV's have a bigger filler for commonality with other big equipment.

Anyone have a CUCV filler hose for sale? :deal:

Sorry to resurrect this, but does anyone have, or know where to find the NSN# for the above fill neck hose? I'm trying to track down a replacement myself currently, and the local surplus shop (EasternSurplus)is asking for an NSN# as they said they may be able to order one. Thanks
