5Toyota Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 sorry no fotos rember myn is the 400 filler left of rv door take off outr fitting. best half tank or less they do have drain plugs. raise up camper then place jack under tank losen bolts on rear of tank remove bolts on front of tank lower tank down goes maybe 2 inches or so. take off clamps big hose and vent hose both were glued on by old age cut small one vice grips too remove end breack seal lose pull off from outside reinstall down from outside. made the vent hose little longer than old one vent hose worse then filler hose to get at . i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBeery Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 My 87 Dolphin 900 started leaking during fill-ups last summer, so I will have to do this, too. Can I buy a molded filler or must I use plain hose and bend to suit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Whatever you use, make sure it's rated for gasoline. Unfortunately quite a bit more expensive than radiator hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Toyota Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 yes my friend the right stuff sold only by the inch in the us/ not cheap. raditor hose is not a plan my man three feet is like 46 dollors. the old one had a date on it 1986 oem was in horrable shape. the stuff is sold cut to order or a full piece three feet long be shure you replace the small vent hose as well . that is sold by the foot not bad.some people use exast pipe to make bends used that on my 1978 . but the dolphin i just had to bend the hose a little it will do a long slope bend ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haffcke Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 i know the post on this was back in March but maybe others will have to do this also, 86 dolphin 900, no need to drop tank but you do need to be a contortionist , first remove screws from filler neck (just under the cap) then losing the clamp at the tank, this is were you have to be a contortionist, the new hose from NAPA auto parts only comes in 3ft length but you can also get a 90 elbow then you need a 2 foot piece of 2inc ID pipe (i used electrical conduit) to join the 90 to 3 ft piece , when reinstalling make sure vent hose is above filler hose or it will get gas in it and fuel won't go to the tank. do not use water hose! it will disintegrate in very short order.
