Anybody know where I can get the 1 1/4" piece of hose that goes between the filler neck and the tank? Or some reasonable facsimile?

Although it was three years ago, we were successful in getting that particular size/type hose for our Burb at a marine supply store.
Hope this helps.

It's spendy. I found some at the local Car Quest, they charge by the inch.

I replaced the exact piece.... I went through hell at Kragens and Autozone, they want you to buy a four foot length of cable enforced fuel hose that they WILL NOT cut to a piece that you need (for about 40 bucks too!!!) I ended up going to a rubber hose store here in Modesto, Ca. that custom makes hydrolic lines and what not, it cost me 5 bucks and some change... not sure if there are any places as such near you but that would be your best bet.

None of the auto parts stores have been able to help me, but then you have to consider who they have working there. It could be on the shelf right in front of them and they wouldn't see it.
I found it at Overtons.com $6 and $7 to ship didn't want to wait that long.

Good tip. Thanks.

You should post up more questions you eventually solve yourself for our benefit.

Most of the auto parts stores around here handle it. It is sold by the inch here also.
