You might want to contact Jim Adney ( [email protected] ), as he offers a kit to replace that hose with something far superior.

Unfortunately I'm limited on photos because the tank is out of the car for cleaning and the remaining/related hoses and lines are all removed. Everything was cracked, damaged, or missing.
I'm looking for the diameter of the hose that goes from the tank to the right fender and then to the overflow divert on the filler neck. I realize there is a kit to solve this but I'm curious about the hose diameter. Bentley is no help.

This hose?

The "grommet" you see is actually cast into this part, not a separate part.
Do you want the ID or OD?
If you need the ID, someone could also measure a filler neck overflow nipple OD:

Ok I got it. I think I figured it out. Not to buy the JA kit.
Thanks

Yep Jim's amazing. He supplied the overflow kit plus an assortment of vent lines as mine were destroyed or removed. It's all installed and good to go.
