Walt, A reducer would be ideal, but I have no idea if such a thing is available, or where I would obtain it. It would be a very specialized piece of hardware, I suspect. Wouldn't a Dremel create lots of sparks? I've drained the tank but can still smell fuel. Are there precautions I can take? I'll just have to be careful, I guess.
Len, Those new tunnel hoses sure look appealing but I'm going to have to stick with the front hose and clamp, for both ease of installation and financial reasons.
I'm guessing that the second line shown in the pictures is the return line - will I need to replace that as well? On the picture below, I assume that I should make shallow cuts along the lines I've drawn, without cutting the barb, of course. Is that correct?
SCrescue, If only. I tried the swap with the greatest of hopes but alas, they're different sizes as well. Thanks anyway.
