I was under the disco (96) a bit today, and noticed the horizontal rubber tube running from the filler to the tank is pretty cracked. I'd like to replace it as soon as possible, but don't know how empty I should have the tank before attempting this. Any info would be helpful,

thanks,

Jeffry

Less than 1/2 a tank and about 10 min is all you need.

Is it just a hose I can pick up at any auto parts store, or should I get a specific part from a LR parts house?

(I would assume, since it is straight and round, any hose that is for a fuel system that is the correct dimensions would work.)

sorry for being such a newbie, I just want to treat the disco right ...

I was told via email that I can go anyplace and get a fuel hose of the proper dimensions, but I tried an Autozone and a Napa and neither carry fuel line hoses. One other place was suggested by both, but they were closed.

It looks simple enough to do ...
