My Gehl Ctl80 has cloth covered fuel hose from the fuel tank to the water separator. I need to replace it. What type of fuel hose is best. Do I have to use the cloth covered as a replacement? does it offer any advantage?
Thanks

Import car fuel hose is good stuff, when you can easily find it. Myself, for diesel fuel lines, I use pushlok/pushloc hose that you can source at any hyd hose shop, far better than common fuel hose from auto parts stores.

Thanks for the info. Looking at the Parker super flex, just didn’t know if the cloth covering was an advantage.
Thanks again

What hose model/part number do you typically use for this?

Don't have the part number in my head, I just replaced a short piece on a diesel welder today, I'll get a part number from the hose and let you know tomorrow
