Fuel filler and vent hose replacement

[jzumi]

2005 2520xl. I finally bit the bullet and wrestled with replacing these hoses.

Surprise! It was easy. Access to both ends was fairly good. And the chase only had a small amount of foam so pulling the hoses through was simple and easy.

I would have tackled this a long time ago if I had known it was this easy!

What condition were the old hoses in after 15 years? How long a section of hose did you need? Any pictures?

Sorry, didn't take pics.

Both hoses were in pretty good shape. Vent hose had a fair amount of whitish, waxy gunk almost occluding the end where it attaches to the tank fitting. Filler hose was clear but felt like it was a bit funky when you squeezed it or bent it hard; no chunks or flakes coming off inside, though.
