I will give whoever did this high marks for creativity, but low marks for material selection.

PVC pipe is NOT a good choice for 100% of time fuel immersion.

At least he could have found an appropriate size piece of copper, or something.

The connector isn't the source of the gas leaks though, it appears to have all come from the pump and sender tops. You can see how wet the sender top well is

A bunch of aluminum window screen wrapped around the pump assembly to try and keep it together. That didn't work, now i gotta fish stuff out of the bottom of the lower tank...

I *Hate* it when that happens!

That's no good! Go to the auto parts or Marine store and purchase a piece of fuel filler hose with the right curve. I think I got mine at Marine One
Four hose clamps = four places for it to leak and four places for Fuel odor.
I wonder what he did for the 3/8 hose attached to the lift pump?
I would fix that before putting it all back together.

 

The transfer hose is flexible mostly clear hose, once the fuel pump was out i was able to remove the "rigged' 1.5" connector hose.

Its not a std lower pump near as I can tell, it doesn't look anything like the Bronco pump i bought, there was no way to really hold old pump in position, other than the aluminum window screen.... Both lower pump wires were broken, though the + pos wire must have been partially attached because I did get the lower pump to run by jumpering it a few days ago, the screen must have acted as a ground, once in a while.

Taking the rigged hose to NAPA tomorrow to see if they have anything that will work.

Still have to ohm the lower fuel sender.
