CrustyOreo Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 So in the process of putting my VFR back together, I Manage to break the elbow off number 7 where it connects to the fuel filter Does anyone know the diameter so I can just get a generic piece of hose? The OEM hose is $7.00 but I don't want to wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrustyOreo Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Put a piece of generic hose on. Bike runs like ass! It gets all kinked and what have you. Ordered the OE line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRad704 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 There's hose and then there's fuel line. Fuel line is multi layer and had a braided inner component also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrustyOreo Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 This was definitely fuel line. Or so the idiot at Advance told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRad704 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I asked apart Advanced forest and was told they didn't have bulk generic fuel line. I think they sold you the wrong stuff. I too tried some cheaper hose and had the same kinked and crappy results. At least you have the real thing on it's way. But take a look somewhere like Ace Hardware or a small hardware store... just for reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrustyOreo Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Advance is full of dopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRad704 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Advance is full of dopes. I think most all chain stores (of ANY type) are full of dopes. People who just needed a job, and don't know or care what they are selling. Is your's a Gen 4? My 93 has the petcock exit out the right side, then make a 180-turn back to the left side for the filter/pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrustyOreo Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I think it's a Gen 4. Petcock exits on lext side, bout 2 inches then makes a 90* toward the back of the bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
