Andy, John and fellow 'philes:

I put Yankee mogas in the replacement rubber fuel filler hose 17 days
ago.  A faint aroma of gas was detected on day 14 and it has increased
daily since to where it is now rather unpleasant.  This is about the
same as occurred with the original hose. (1997)  I don't know if it is
the different makeup of US fuel but the hose is clearly not usable for
mogas in the states.

Two inch clear polyurethane hose is available but one needs to purchase
in at least 100 foot lengths.  It is fuel proof and would give an added
benefit of being able to see the fuel level in the hose.
