    so i got a walbro pump, started assembling it to the stock basket, and the plastic in-tank feed tube between the pump and the hat doesn't fit over the outlet on the walbro pump, i tried jamming it over it and i split the hose. now my question is, what type of hose is this so i can buy it...it's obviously not rubber fuel line. Probably not vinyl either i would think if it was it would get hard and break. Has anyone else been able to get the stock tube over the walbro pump?

    What I did was take a heat gun and heat the tube up. This will expand it enough so you can wiggle the tube on or off the pump.

    It's PTFE fuelline. Submersible rubber hose will work as well

    It has to be submersible though. Lots of counter guys don't know the difference.
