Well I'm having trouble getting the submersible hose. At least there are no NAPA stores near me & none of the stores that are can get it. I may have to drive 35 miles or more one way to go to NAPA & get it. If I do, I'll buy extra in case anyone else needs it.
I also found a split in the hose that was on it once the swelling went down...   ::)

Well even the NAPA stores "near" me don't have the hose.  :'(  I checked all of the used sending units I have & the hose is dry rotted.  :( My Indy has been down for MONTHS now all because of a 3" piece of freakin' HOSE that I can't get!
On top of everything, my BMW radiator came loose & hit the fan, so I have no way of going...
Can anyone check the NAPA stores near them for me? Need SAE spec J30 R10 hose.
Thanks,
Paul

I found this on Pennocks. They say it runs ~$15 per foot.

You can't fix stupid but, you can adjust it with a 2x4.

Yeah Charlie it's 5/16" I.D.
Anyone have any?

Got it running! My friend Jerry pulled the sending unit out of a spare Fiero tank to see if the rubber hose was still good, & it had a milky-white piece of neoprene (I think that's what he called it) hose/line & he had some of that so I used it (he said it was available at Home Depot). I took a photo & will add it when I get time to upload it from my camera.
To conclude:
1) I hate computer controlled cars!
2) I hate computer controlled cars that send you a code telling you it has a bad MAP sensor when it needs a freakin' FUEL HOSE!
3) I hate in tank fuel pumps!
4) I hate when you CAN"T GET a simple piece of submersible fuel hose to repair a bad one.
5) I HATE that our freakin' GOVERNMENT has allowed the big oil companies to add methanol into our gas that ROTS the damn FUEL HOSE THAT YOU CAN'T GET!

In addition...
6) I hate computer controlled cars that don't come with a schrader valve.
7) I hate that you can't get an inline schrader valve without buying a whole kit including a pressure gauge.
8 ) I hate that you can't get any of the above that's not made in freakin' china.
BTW; it's showing 10 lbs. of fuel pressure now. I always thought that fuel injection needed more to run. Since it was idling with the gauge showing zero pressure, I believe the china made gauge is crap (what else is new?).
