Project "RESPAWN" - 1972 K5 Blazer

[CK5]

A person asked at the bottom of the page. Summit "expert" said ~26" and 1.8" ID meant for 1.75" application.

The one you linked looks a lot like the one I currently have. And i hate it. Absolutely most pain in the butt hose to install/remove. That said its theoretically cheaper per foot.

Hmm, I wonder if the new one you ordered can be bent a little, when does yours come in?

Tracking says tomorrow. For my 86 its a straight shot so no need for a bend. Will bend the one coming and let you know. The one I have now like that Dayco has wire reinforcement and might take a bend better.

Do you have a local Parker store? They carry fuel rated hose.

Might check into that.

I got mine from a local hose supplier. Pretty sure I used exhaust pipe to adapt the 1.75 to 2" though.

Did it come in?

Not yesterday. Got the notification its at home now this morning. Will report back this afternoon.

Hose seems of decent quality but if you are needing a 90° bend I don't think you want this one. Was already starting to kink with a slight bend.

Got everything plumbed in now, next up I have to clean up the area where the tank was just because. I decided to just use all new parts while I was in there, was thinking I would spend around 350.00 to 400.00 bucks total... so 700.00 wasn't too bad.
