fuel line floor grommet

Post by bjde0b »

I have looked in NPD, LMC and DC but I cannot find the grommet for the fuel line as it goes through the floorboard (oval shaped). I also cannot find the circle plug next to it in this picture. Anybody replaced these?

You may be able to find the right size grommets at the auto parts stores in the Help section.

Use a standard grommet which will fit the hole in the floor but be too large for the fuel line. Stick some masking tape underneath, fill the space between the grommet and fuel line with black silicone sealant, and when it has cured remove the masking tape from underneath. Just did it myself because I couldn't find a grommet that would work and it worked fine. The 43 year old original one I pulled out was so hard it was unusable.

I took this truck apart a year and a half ago and moved a state away. I actually found the grommet in one of my crates so I am able to reuse it. Thanks.
