Fuel pump replacement time, got a hose question

[Miah]

Noticed a small wet spot in the parking lot & my formed fuel hose is looking swollen & damp, so time to start the process.

Ordered in the Delphi 906 pump & adapter plate gasket a few moments ago. Is the pre-formed 3/8 fuel hose available or do i HAVE to loop some straight hose around? If i have to loop, does anyone happen to have a pic of it so i can get a good visual idea oh how it'll need to go? cucvrus? You're the specialist here...

Amazon seems forever unavailable for that particular piece, but its available other places for around twenty bucks or so.
I ended up using this for a 70-82 corvette application on the s bend for the truck fuel pump. Its been on a couple of years now and shows no ill effects. I had been worried that it would not be appropriate hose for diesel, but as of yet it seems fine.

I had some trouble getting rubber line to go in without developing kinks when hot. I used https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Molded-Fuel-Line-Rubber/dp/B07C8YTNPF

I gives you 4 basic curves to work with. It may come in other diameters.

Thanks for that. I'd say great minds think alike, but you might not want to be associated with what's in my head.

Couldn't find the Corvette S hose easily in-stock, many places had a lead time on shipping. Ordered one of those universal molded a few days ago, hopefully it'll do the job acceptably.

Cool, good luck.

I have had great success using 3/8" hose and making it a bit longer. I also put some split wire loom around it and wire tied it tight in place. Also have seen 2 small copper elbows used with straight hose. NOT rocket science. Make it work. Make it that it don't leak and you have the perfect setup. I have also bought every GM one that was available back in the 90's. Good Luck. Be Safe.
