tank to pump fuel leak

[nlowe79 at gmail.com (Nate Lowe)]

I figured as much. Guess I'll just have to drive it till it's almost empty
before I fix it. At least I don't have to buy some specialty hose for it so
shouldn't be more than $10 to fix. It's about 1/2" or so OD hose so I'd
guess around 1/4" or 3/8" ID, shouldn't be too hard to find.
