B - I'd highly suggest getting a reputable supplier of a 2" ID fuel hose with a pre-molded 45 degree bend. A few years ago, I used the Goodyear (Continential) part number #59202 and cut it to size.What is the source of the fuel filler hose? Mine is about to turn 48. It doesn’t leak fumes… but it’s due to be replaced.
Exactly the one I used per @GA Architect thread. Ordered it on Amazon a while ago and it took a couple months to get here.B - I'd highly suggest getting a reputable supplier of a 2" ID fuel hose with a pre-molded 45 degree bend.

What year is yours? I think I have a chunk left over for my 1970 that is a straight connection. If it works, I could send it your way.What is the source of the fuel filler hose? Mine is about to turn 48. It doesn’t leak fumes… but it’s due to be replaced.
Mine is a July ‘74 and has a bend. Thanks for the offer.What year is yours? I think I have a chunk left over for my 1970 that is a straight connection. If it works, I could send it your way.
Being the OEM part 77217-60014 (9/72 - 1/79) is for your FJ40 and mine, I think using the same hose as I did would be alright. I don't recall a difference in size between the tank inlet vs the filler neck outlet. Note, both the top and bottom hose clamp calls for the same 96111-10670 part number, so maybe they are the same diameters?Mine is a July ‘74 and has a bend. Thanks for the offer.
I’ll have to check again, but I’d thought the ends were different sizes. @GA Architect was this the case for yours? Is there enough stretch in a 2” 45* to make up for it if they are?
Whoa! Definitely past its prime?
Heard ethanol in fuel makes this wicking worse.My carb drools gasoline when at rest. It flows thru the intake manifold micro crack, and thru threads on the BTB / Man-A-Fre products plate that is under it. Gasoline can get thru most anything, not hermetically sealed, but, for all realistic purposes, I'd not worry about it. Carbs that have big issues with throttle slop are usually aluminum castings. My suspicion is in the airhorn where the idle cut solenoid is has a siphon effect. I have like three solenoids, two have different diameters, and four sets of O-Rings for it, and at least two O-rings are different in how they measure. I eventually bought a new OEM carb, still drools when the conditions are right, makes the header smell when I start-up. I need a proper repair on the manifold so the problem is out of sight, out of mind.
The identification of a vac leak at the throttle shaft will be a distinctive vertical line on the interior of the throttle body, but, the only ones that I'd imagine doing that would be the clone aluminum ones, as the cast iron ones are pretty tough, although I'm sure that there could be exceptions.
Right, the vapor pressure of ethanol has got to have some kind of influence.Heard ethanol in fuel makes this wicking worse.
