1985 p-30 fuel hose

[whem2fish]

i need a molded hose that runs from the frame (1/2 in.) to the mechanical pump
(3/8 in.) i have been to parts stores even to gm dealer in central dfw with no luck. my only other thought i 50 miles away one way to the gm dealer that does big trucks

How long is the hose? My 84 has a 1/2 inch steel line that is about 12 inches from the mechanical pump. Its reduced in size to allow standard 3/8ths fuel line.

Had the same problem with my vintage 1973 but I went to my local harware store and had hydraulic lines made up which solved my problems.

Are you talking about the hose that runs from the steel pipe that runs the length of the coach to the fuel tank in the rear? Mine had a 1/2" female thread to male barb coupler on it that took a slip-on piece of hose. Just make sure it's rated for fuel... I dont know what Fleetwood used in '85, but after a few years mine came apart in my hand.

I have the same hose on my '88 Itasca. It is a 1/2" molded hose. If the dealer can't order a hose for you it would be possible to fabricate one. If there is a hose supply in your area you can have them make you one.
If no hose supply see if you can find some 1/2" steel tube and have it bent then use short pieces of hose on the ends. Copper can be used to make the bend in a pinch but I prefer the steel.
You might check with a shop that sells high performance car parts also as they may have a hose that can be bent like the original and not kink or flatten out.

I have looked at mine and it is ok but I think I'm gonig to call my dealer and ask about the hose and buy it if available.

the regular gm dealer didnt have a clue. north of me there is a chevrolet dealer that works on rvs and big trucks (45 miles). i tried motion ind. they make hoses but not that small.i will let you know what i find

Try a marine supply, I found a hose I needed and couldn't find through normal channels at our local "boat" repair shop.
