My car hasn't ran well for the last 30 days!  This weekend I looked at the
gas tank return hose, it was basically gone.  All I can ASSume is that with
the rain we've had I have some MUD in the gas tank.  I put 2 new gas filters
in and they are already black with crap.  The thing that makes me angry is the
price of the hose, $45 in some parts! It's just a piece of rubber. I replaced
this thing 6 yrs. ago, I didn't expect to have to replace it already! Now that
I've expressed my feelings, has anyone used fuel line hose of the same
diameter as the original rubber hose?  Just wondering.  I don't want to pay
$45 for a piece that will decay in 5 yrs. Fuel hose seems to last longer.
