pcristquester Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Just noticed I must have a cracked or broken fuel filler hose when I went to fill up today. Just started squeezing a couple gallons in, and a couple ounces leaked onto the ground only while filling. Anyways, would that cause it to run a little rough on idle and choppy while cruising? Steady acceleration and wot had no issues, though. Will be replacing it ASAP. Are there any part numbers (assuming NLA and can't get from mitsu) or anyone know what diameter hose to get? I believe it is a straight-ish shape and fairly short. Will an old intercooler hose suffice if it's the correct diameter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucw458 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 2" hose if I remember correctly. Must be fuel filler hose. IC hose will fail quickly. You only need 4" of hose. Any auto parts store will have it for around $20-25 per foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasQuest Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Had this issue a couple of years ago. It IS still available from Mitsu. Part # MB181707 Edited September 3, 2015 by TexasQuest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcristquester Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Thanks Texas, but I tore into it today and Jeff was right. It's just a 4" long straight piece of 2" i.d. rubber hose. Picked up some at Napa for $12 per foot, only I didn't bring my tape measure in there to verify. It's like 1 3/4, and doesn't fit over the bead at the ends. Back to get a larger size, 2" should be perfect. Had to cut the old one in the middle to remove it because the clamp at the tank was in a bad spot to get a wrench or socket on it to loosen.

pcristquester Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Before..http://i1372.photobucket.com/albums/ag335/pcrist/002%208_zpsgjxsqhdg.jpg. and after...clocked the clamps to better locations. the top bolt between the frame and top of tank was a test in patience to reinstall http://i1372.photobucket.com/albums/ag335/pcrist/006%2011_zpsw9vnqnvs.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Exactly how I did it too. Through the wheel well. I didn't feel like dropping a full gas tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcristquester Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I almost gave in and didn't put that top bolt in, very frustrating but got it started then 1/4 turn at a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
