Overview
The MTS Company CJFH-1 is a fuel tank fill hose for the 1976-1983 Jeep CJ5 and the 1976-1986 Jeep CJ7. It is a replacement style hose.
It is not for the OEM 20 gallon tank. Confirm the diameter, length and material against the original hose before installing.
A fuel tank fill hose is the short flexible hose that connects the filler neck on the body to the fuel tank. It is a wear item that can crack with age, and replacing it is common on older vehicles such as the Jeep CJ5 and CJ7.
It is a replacement style hose rather than an exact original equipment copy. It is not for the OEM 20 gallon tank, so CJ owners with the original tank should look for a different hose. Confirm the tank size before installing.
Measure the old hose and compare its diameter, length, bend and material before ordering. Fuel hoses should be rated for fuel use and secured with suitable clamps.
Key features
- Replacement-style fuel tank fill hose
- Direct fit for the CJ5 and CJ7
- Not for the OEM 20 gallon tank
Fill hose wear and fuel safety
The fill hose carries fuel from the filler neck to the tank, so it sees both vapor and liquid. Over time rubber hardens and cracks, especially where it bends near the body, and a leak can develop at the clamps. A hose that has become stiff or shows surface cracking should be replaced rather than patched.
When replacing a fill hose, remove the fuel cap and relieve pressure, keep ignition sources away, and work with the battery disconnected. Check the filler neck and tank connection for corrosion, and use clamps suited to fuel. After installation, look for leaks at both ends and smell for fuel vapor before starting the engine.
- Inspect for stiffness or surface cracks
- Keep sparks and flames away from the work
- Check both ends for leaks before starting the engine
