inthedoghouse50 ,the hose is a regular gas filler hose i got from a local independant parts house. they had the solid and this wire wrapped they suggested the wire type because of the bending, the smooth type didn't bend well. the bend will have to be adjusted, it fills real slooooow. i had moccasins on but i do run around barefoot a lot, but that garage is my house garage not my shop. thanks for mentioning it.
