The fuel tank breather vent hose on my H28.5 is pretty tired and the outer skin is cracked and pealing in the hard turns. I checked the hose label - its 5/8th and what surprised me was that it was the black labelled "water hose". I would have thought that it would need to be fuel hose cause it connects to a nipple on the top of the diesel tank.

or is it that it doesn't need to be fuel hose. I would think diesel fumes would still be caustic-ish direct on rubber. Can anyone say if this was a construction oversight in assembly by Hunter. The fuel vs water hose cost differential is double and I'd need 10 ft. to mimic the existing loops/dips in the line.

You are on the right track. Fuel hose with fuel and water hose with water. The fumes may react to the water hose causing the hose liner to break down.

I am the original owner - so it was a hunter oversight!
So I'm in for $50 in fuel hose vs 25 in h20 hose

Thanks for confirming my thoughts about it.
