    Looked at Will's link didn't see what I need. Going from 2 1/2 inch OD coming off the tank and going to a 1 1/4 OD slip on style fitting on the pump (125 in. altered). Would like a short but flexible line off the tank, adapted down to a 1 1/4 pipe/tube to run along frame and almost to the pump. Where can I find the big & smaller OD hose and the tubing?

    thanks

    It won't help now but..."back in the day", Garlits used radiator hose. The fitzall flex type with a big spring moulded in. Old single loop plier type hose clamps too.

    Dave,
    I have his card here and there's nothing on it, so I'd say no. He has everything from fittings, ti bolts, lines, filters....he supplies damn near every fuel team in Brownsburg. Mark is a great guy to deal with....all of you TAD/TAFC guys, he has the approved breather hose and brake line covering as well...and he can make your -3 steel lines for inside the car.

    I found the marine 1.25 hose on e bay for $5 a foot. I'll check out the lead above. I've heard of radiator hose before but wasn't sure If my leg was getting pulled.

    thanks

    its just to connect the pump and the tank to the 1-1/4 tube line right the whole fuel line is not a radiator hose
