tank to pump fuel leak

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

No there is no way to keep the gas from coming out of the tank once you 
remove the hose.
IIRC the tank to pump hose is just a standard fuel hose. Not even a high 
pressure fuel injection hose. Don't remember the size right off hand.
Gotta make sure you cut it the right length so it doesn't kink though.
