Onan fuel pipe between pump and carb.

[Totality]

Just found out (original)fuel pipe between pump and carb on my 6k Onan is leaking. Had planned to use it to run AC on way to Bean Station.
Any other quick fixs other than getting new one from Applied?

Me too! Juat went through this. Hose from 1976 failed at top. Ordered from Applied. Aparently there are different sizes at the pump end. Original
was one size larger and reverse flair in the 90 to flex line. Spoke to Jim K and sent him pics so he could see the differences. Of course he was
anxious to make it right and he did sending me a new brass 90. Onan very happy. I will follow up as to if he will include the 90 or have 2 different
ones available depending on what you have. As a temp fix you could run 2 brass barb fittings and tygon line but I frown on that as it will become a
permenant repair and start spraying fuel in due time.

Pete,

A local hydraulics supply house might be able to duplicate that cheaply,
preferably with barrier hose, but 'most any should serve for a few years,
even with ethanol.

Or, you could re-plumb it for hard line. Or, replace the fittings with
barbed fittings (probably available at HD or Lowes) and a few inches of
barrier hose.
