Two weeks past I replaced the hose that runs from the fuel tank to the fuel pump. I ran the gas low and drained four gallons out of the tank before unscrewing that house and replaced it with a new MB 170 470 04 75. Waste of time. The hose was in very good condition with very little deterioration. I have drivien 18 wheelers and delivered gasoline and diesel fuel making a living On one truck a suction hose internally had deterioated to the point the fuel was almost black on discharge. With our hose being 20+ years old I was concered something similiar may be happening, but that was not the case.

I replaced that house on one of my two Crossfires. I won't do it on the other.
