With the addition of "corn" to today's gasolines, can I use the following modern materials instead? Straight cooling hose (radiator hose) for the gas tank filler hose and steel brake line (5/16") for the fuel line from the fuel pump to the carburetor?

The gas filler neck hose was always a special gas and oil resisant hose. DO NOT USE COOLING SYSTEM HOSE as the gas will turn it to mush.
The steel linesbrake or gas, require nothing special.

Here is a photo of what I purchased for the filler neck hose. It came with the smaller hose as a set. If you look closely, you can see where they covered the word COOLANT with black marker. I just discovered this with a little lacquer thinner and a rag. I guess I have to return another item that is not exactly correct. ![[Linked Image from i1311.photobucket.com]](http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/s663/hawkeye1932/002_zpsqh8tixps.jpg)

I'd stay away from corn in the gas. usually there is some station that offers ethanol free premium somewhere. more expensive I know, but it keeps the crud out of the works.

I found a supplier that still offers filler neck hose in the 1 3/8" ID size. The item number is D138S. Go to fillernecksupply.com
