I need to replace the fuel vent hose on my 2000 Ranger. It goes from the filler neck to the fuel tank and appears to be 3/4" in diameter. The problem is that I can’t find any fuel hoses in this diameter at any auto parts stores. Are there any alternatives? I see heater hoses in this diameter, but I don’t imagine that would be a wise choice. Ideally, I need to find something locally this week. Any suggestions would be appreciated. ---

It seems a logical step would be the parts department at the ford dealer. ---

Here in North Mississippi large diameter fuel line is stocked at both NAPA and O’Reilly’s. ---

You can also order large diameter fuel line from Jegs or Summit Racing. If you want local, use some heater hose until you can order a proper replacement. ---
