Overview
The Omix-ADA gas filler hose, part number 17740.04, is a replacement filler hose that does not fit the CJ8 Scrambler. The hose is 4 inches too short for that vehicle.
Only the CJ8 Scrambler is excluded, so verify other models against your own filler neck before buying.
Filler neck length and fit
Length is the main fit question for a gas filler hose. The hose has to reach from the filler neck to its connection point without stretching tight, and it must not pull on the fittings when the tank moves. A hose that is too short creates strain at both ends, while a hose that is too long can kink or sag and trap fuel vapor or moisture.
Fit checks start with the vehicle’s year, model and trim, then the original routing. Lay the old hose beside the new one and compare where each end sits. Keep the hose clear of exhaust heat and moving suspension parts. Replace the clamps with the hose, since a worn clamp can allow a leak even when the hose is correct.
- Compare the old and new hose routes
- Avoid stretch at the fittings
- Keep the hose clear of heat sources

Vehicle fitment

Check other models against the hose length before buying, since direct fit alone does not confirm coverage.
