That'll do it. While some have put new run of hose in mine was pretty good shape (no leaks) so I reinforced it with a run of black duct tape at about a 45 degree angle then wrapped a white cord around between the wire reinforcing. Was asked at All Triumph Drive In in 2007 where I got the new hose from. (Looks better than the picture).[8D]

I had the same problem.
IF for some reason the tapping of the hose does not work???
Fuel could be "Malases".
If that is true?
Then you need to take the fuel out of tank and clean it with clean fuel.atleast.
Change the filter.
if that works , Cool ,if not ?/
Then you have to go to the next level the fuelinjectors ..
Take them out send them to be cleaned abot $ 25 each.
Keep us informed
Good luck

My car came from the PO with ABS plumbing in lieu of the hose! Not good for California smog inspections (It did work though and was obviously cheap). I found some silicon aircraft hose that fits and is very tough but it is expensive and only came in orange. I beleve silicon hose is available on e-bay. I think your car should work OK on last winter's fuel.
