At the time of this writing Gates does not produce a 1/2" ID hose that they recommend for in-tank/sumbersible use with today's fuels. (Gary, Gates Industrial Hose and Hydraulic representative, ph.303-744-5070). But, here's contact info with links to a supplier for 1/2" ID Fluoroelastomer hose...
Nothing written in this thread has warranted any threats or expletives. You are far more impressed with that crap than I am. I spent so many years as a Range Officer on firing lines that I tend to objectively call people out for their actions, like rusty's false #101 post. Never understood the...
I can surely see how it's handy to figure the guy with 5k+ likes must be right, and the newer guy must be wrong... but here's the thing... if the in-tank hose on someone else's truck goes south, because they followed You and Rusty's lead by installing a hose that isn't 30R10 submersible rated...
Just got off the phone with Gary, Gates Industrial Hose and Hydraulic representative, @ 303-744-5070. Gary stated that the hose in that listing (Gates Product ID #42196150, Part# 27342) while being J30R14T2 rated (not synonymous with J30R10), is not 30R10 rated, and absolutely not intended for...
Rusty, we've already established in post #115 that Gates makes many variants of 4219 Series hose, some are fuel submersible, some are not. By Gates' own admission, the 4219 variant that is 30R10/Submersible rated is not available in 1/2" ID. Now, you made a claim in post #101, on 3/22 at 00:45...
Just got a PM From TriStar1, wanting to know what I've done to help make the steering/handling more manageable with 395/85R20's (46"), figured I'd share...
About 8 months ago, I fabbed up this dual steering stabilizer set-up, got the initial idea from a single-damper set-up donnerwetter58 had...
From the specs given, looks to me like that's EXACTLY the kind of thing we need! Just need to have one that'll do 1/2" ID (13mm) x 13"+ long (325mm) for my set up anyway.
Doing a search for convoluted fuel tubing/corrugated fuel tubing, seems like the 1/2" ID is still the sticking point... I...
Here's a link with good info and a source for hose compatible with today's diesel, biodiesel/blends, and anything else you'd likely run in your truck https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showth...Hose-For-Deuce
This is the kind of thing that can happen if a non-submersible type of fuel hose (like the one Rusty posted in his last link) is used for an in-tank application...

We don't know if, or if not, a hose that might work will be fine for a few years, then...

Hey Rusty, I haven't seen where Gates even lists 1/2" submersible currently on their own website. Please list a direct 1/2" Gates submersible fuel hose product link, or a link for 1/2" submersible fuel hose from any manufacturer for that matter, from a supplier that currently has the product in...
THE WIRING... Old thread I know, but I didn't want to add another thread to the mix, and sorry I didn't take pics along the way... Unless your existing wiring already has the twist-lock type pump connector, I really suggest that the pigtail from the new pump be soldered to your old power lead...
That's odd... What happened Rusty?
I've used mine dozens of times. Seals perfectly every time, and I've yet to change out the brass washer I started using at the get-go.
Did the male M12 not thread/seal into the female M12 tester?
Did the male 1/8 NPT fitting not thread/seal into the female 1/8...
IIRC, it's not too tough to take the bottom end off. 4 screws/nuts, and it's sealed with a cork-type gasket that you might have to break loose. Once you get inside, you might just find the angled contacts are dirty. With a good cleaning, you may have a functional back-up relay. If you remove the...
