Re: [Amc-list] replace fuel filler hoses?

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I'm not real familiar with 62's, I'd try and locate as steel filler neck that would replace the cap end, then use exhaust steel tubing to make any long or complicated runs. You can join any sections with silicone or rubber connectors.
  I'd probably try black silicone to see what they do. 
If you or anyone else thinks a 65 Ambassador or Classic tub will do for starters I've got a spare.
  I just don't know the 62's well enough to do anymore than theorize!!!
