@#$%^ GRR... Connection on fuel module

[XLexusTech]

SO, anyone know if the hose used on the VaporWorx / GM fuel module can be purchased at a store or via GM...? It looks like OE hose...

The instructions tell you to heat the hose... which i did.. but it folded in on itself and is now unusable.. so I need to get a new hose..... Not exactly happy with how this whole Ricks VaporWorx situation has worked out thus far but that's another story... for another time....


"Slowly and evenly heat the end of the hose until it softens. Immediately
remove the hose from the tool and slide it on to the fuel module venturi
pickup connection like that shown in Photo 7b. It is imperative that the
corrugated section of the hose not be heated. Allow the hose to cool to
room temperature and then remove it from the module connection. "

The link below carriers the hose and pick ups cheap. Go to the "install parts" section in the link. Buy a couple extra just in case. I never tried to find them locally.


To heat up the fuel line try boiling a cup of water and holding the hose end to be installed inside the boiled water. That should soften it enough to install. We do this all time on diesels to install those plastic fuel lines. Hope this helps.

Yep thats the way it looks but to be honest since I didn't get any instructions with my kit.. and the instructions I found online are for a different connector type.. (Y not T) the hoses in those instructions are white like those sold in the link you provided... my hoses are black... so I don't what to assume anything here...

Carl is helping me.... really awesome support..

Sorry -- had a good chuckle to myself on this --- I can certainly see where "how to heat" this tubing would be anyones guess. Hot water is the easy way. I to this when fixing my drip irrigation system as well... similar hose and hard to push onto the little fittings unless you dip it in some hot water.

I can remember fighting with some "sewer" hose on my boat -- and somebody told me to just heat it.... then it slips on the fittings with ease.
