I am replacing the fuel pump in my 98 jimmy. I can't for the life of me get the filler hose off the tank any ideas

Wrap a pair of channel locks around the hose at the tank and twist it until it breaks loose. Or you could always remove the entire hose by removing a few torx bolts from underneath the fuel door..

Keep in mind a replacement fuel-safe hose can run up to $70 a foot....

$70/foot?!?!? i got both the vent pipe hose and fuel filler hose for $12 at a napa store, i dunno how safe it is but it works, and at the dealer i think they wanted $20 for just the fuel filler hose section

:iagree:
Fuel-safe?. You must be joking.
I also went to napa and got a piece of hose for $5.00. Just as safe as the rubber fittings on the fuel lines into/out of the filters.
Why pay the dealer to go down to Napa and buy the same hose, then sell it to you at a 400% mark-up?
