Length is only 8.5 to 9" and it's pretty stiff hose.
I used this filler hose, it's pretty stiff, has 2 steel "belts" imbedded.
Gates 23924, 1.5" diamater. https://www.gates.com/us/en/fluid-po...663-03601.html
And a loose fit on the truck side where the OD is ~1 3/8" May need a hose without the steel imbedded.

Anybody try something else? Considering putting a sleeve over the smaller filler on the truck side.
