How did you get your fuel fill hose out?
 

Help!!!

Foamed in.

Cheers,
You know who

Some one told me it will come out if you blow in it! :D

I have never tried this on a fuel hose but it is an idea:
Get some flexible PVC spa pipe a little larger in ID than your fuel hose OD - 4' long or so. Glue a PVC slip-slip union on the end. Cut coarse teeth in the end of the union - you are making a long, flexible hole saw with plastic teeth but foam is usually pretty soft. Slide it over hose and cut as far as you can from either end by twisting the tube - you will probably need to put wire pulling lube inside the spa pipe. You will still end up with Popeye arms though.

This is how I have done fuel hoses that were not foamed (much):
Before you pull the old hose out use, use a barbed PVC union fitting to connect it to the new hose on the fill end. Use 3-4 pan head screws on each side of the union, screwed through the hose into the union to hold the hose on. This is smaller than hose clamps. Use a wire pull to put a heavy cord down the ID all the way through - this is your back-up. Push the new hose from the outside and pull the old hose from the inside.

You will need several drinks when you are done because your muscles will be screaming...

I drilled through about an inch from the end and attached a shackel to a come along and winched it out.

Redneck inginuity.

It worked is all can say.

Come to think about it I had to pull the new hose back in the same way.
Something about that turn from the floor into the side.

It was not a fun job.

Lube it then yank it dude.

It's truly a PITA. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Jokes are always welcome.

Drty and Flex thanks.

What about cutting a a pie hole in the gunwhale and blasting the foam w a pressure washer? I need more beer. Damn fill fitting wont lift for squat.

Keep em coming gang.

Cut the new hose w a cut off wheel?

Last spring it was the F`en TnT rebuild.

If you are gonna just yank it, then run a chain down the ID to an eyebolt stuck through a steel pipe cap that fits over the hose end on the inside. Mix in an A-frame and a chain hoist and hope nothing else gets ripped out with it. Something will give but it might pick the hull up a bit first so be careful. Tie a string to it before you pull it so you can get the new one in easier.

I have access to an elegant Yale forklift. She can lift 1600 lb rolls of cahhhpet, so I have the powah. Now I need to find a brain.

Is there such a thing as a flexible tip for a pressure washer? Since foam is the enemy, this is where I am focusing my thought.
