Help gas tank filler hose for a 1977 CJ 5
MTS # CJFH-2 (if you have the standard 15 gallon tank:
Fuel Filler Hose
And here's the vent hose:

They also have a kit with hoses, clamps, and mounts:
Fuel Inlet/Vent Kit
Thank you for the reply. Pictures would be very helpful. I am interested, what kind of shape are the hoses in?I have a complete set from MTS for my '76, should be the same (the small round filler cap). I bought the 20 GAL tank and MTS gave me the wrong part numbers.
If you're interested, let me know and I'll take pics and verify what part numbers I have.
If you have the newer recessed filler cap, you'll need different parts.

Thank you everyone. I have two new sets of these which will not work. Perhaps what I have is something for California I will have to find the old parts to compare to.The hoses are all new. MTS gave me the part numbers for the 15 gallon steel tank, I have the 20 gallon plastic tank and they don't fit. These will fit the small round filler neck, not the newer style rectangle recess style.
CJFH-4 filler hose,
CJVH-4 vent hose,
CJFHN-1, the steel nipple that mates the hoses.
I will try that. If there are only two OEM Parts can you direct me to the other?Post a pic of what you have - the tank connections and the filler body. For that vintage, there's only 2 oem styles, assuming you have the stock 15 gal steel tank.
I did similar and actually upgraded with a recessed junkyard swapped "inset" from a truck. Didn't like the cap sticking out where I like to hit rocksI scratched my head over this more than a decade ago. I ended up getting the right size hoses from a local industrial gas pump supplier and did my own. As for the bend, a new commercial grade hose will conform to the radius without a bend. I have the larger plastic tank. No issues since then.
Back when my mechanic "fixed" it, he crushed the already-brittle filler hose. When it was re-installed the fuel system would not pressurise thus failing the smog test. I was so disgusted that I dropped the project. Thank you Patrick and JR74 for providing an answer to this dilemma.I did similar and actually upgraded with a recessed junkyard swapped "inset" from a truck.

Oh I see - smog - I always forget about that having a pre-smog model... I remember seeing a few places that had good blowup diagrams for all those parts. I'll see if I can find that again later today... It's been a while since I searched.Back when my mechanic "fixed" it, he crushed the already-brittle filler hose.
