    Fuel Filter drain tube replacement

    My drain tube has turned to brittle plastic and fell off.

    Does anyone have a suggestion where to buy a replacement / make a replacement drain tube?

    Thank you in advance!

    I used a piece of garden hose I had laying around for a while. I’d remove it after draining since it was stiff enough to push on easy.

    Then I put extra Fass fuel line piece and just fold it up over the axle. Anything I think 1/2” ID or about that size will work

    Welcome!!!!!!

    The clear stuff from home depot works great. I left it long enough to zip-tie to the axle tube. Saves a mess. 1/2 ID sounds right.
