I know this is an old thread, my Herko 2042 just died (my fault) so I ordered a complete kit "HFP-437-TF Intank EFI Fuel Pump w/Filter + Tank Seal" off of Amazon for about $85 (US) and about $20 to send it here, could not find a better deal anywhere. Will clean out the tank and wait patiently for the supposed oem 52mm replacement that comes with a new filter, lower screen and vibration damper.

Also, I am wondering about the radiator hose immersed in fuel...

I'd be using a piece off a car filler neck hose the hose that goes between the cap and the tank. Different cars had different diameters
try a wreckers.

Would that filler pipe though be fuel resistant inside but not outside, like regular fuel line? I replaced this pump in 2013 I believe, and the original rubber appeared good at the time but has now deteriorated into some kind of gooey prehistoric sticky black mass, so decided to go for the oem claimed kit. I was surprised to see the deterioration of the damper, hoses are fine so we'll see how it goes, the kit should be here in a couple of weeks and in the interim the Hondas will be getting their spring tuneup...

Here's what I received from the Amazon site and the in-tank fuel hoses from Frankenduck, I'm sure the machine will be happy for many more moons...

I used the same kit, but got my supposedly submersible hose from my local auto store. I could see that the short piece between the filter and pump was already expanding, so I ordered this. It just came yesterday.Ad says it's from China, but it says made in USA on hose.????

"Submersible Fuel Line Hose
Gates Submersible Fuel Line Hose is capable of handling gasoline, alcohol-extended gasoline, ethanols, biodiesel or diesel fuel in fully-immersed, mobile and stationary applications. It contains a special compound, Fluoroelastomer, which resists gas permeation and aging. It is also reinforced with Aramid Fiber that is pound-for-pound stronger than steel. This advanced construction allows Gates Submersible Fuel Line Hose to exceed the required SAE 30R10 rating."

Promotional copy you've provided indicates it exceeds SAE30R10 specifications. Either believe it or not. SAE30R10 is what's used in that application.

If you can't trust your locals or China, you can you trust?  177381  Take the swollen hose back to the locals and flog them with it.

Finally! Got this aftermarket pump and new fuel lines installed, the aftermarket collar was broken so had to clean and re-use the original, had some problems reinstalling when the locking parts would not latch, but finally solved, picture attached...

congratulations.  icon_cheers I replaced my in tank lines yesterday with the Gates hose I got off Amazon. 1 foot was barely enough after I cut a short piece off for the filter connection.

Thanks, had a devil of a time fitting everything properly and of course the collar arrived broken but didn't realize it, anyway the process is completed. The old fuel lines must have been original, they were swelling badly, plus the shock absorbing material was sort of like liquid rubber and floaties from it had caused the filter on the original pump to clog up, likely causing the pump to fail. Anyway, too hot to continue, will finish up tomorrow...
