    I am trying to find some fuel hose that goes from 2 1/4 to 2 1/2. The tank side is 2 1/2 and the inlet side is 2 1/4. This is an off topic car. Just barely non HAMB friendly. It was stock but for one year only. I really don't want to have to modify anything. Can anyone offer up a source where I might find such a beast? It's only about a 4 inch chunk.

    Can you use a steel exhaust reducer and put rubber on each end?

    If its a hose that will not have fuel setting in it all the time could you use a radiator hose may not last forever but get you buy for some time.

    If you can pull the filler neck out of the car either take it to a muffler shop and have them expand the end to 2-1/2 inches or cut a few inches off and weld on a 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 exhaust pipe reducer (available at most parts houses) Then you can get the correct gas filler neck hose and put it on and be good to go.

    I'd use 2 1/2" and put a piece of 2 1/4 inside the small end.
