My experience was like Eric's, the plastic the foot is made of doesn't seem to be able to stand up to diesel over the long haul. I switched toa length of hose on my front tank, and I'm soon going to install a new sender in teh back tank, I figure it will last at least for a few years and then I'll just replace the foot with some fuel hose. With teh length issue though, I had issues getting teh locking ring to seal because I left the hose too long, but I didn''t curve the hose back like towcat did. Once it's sealed I doubt it matters if the hose moves a bit, if it is long enough it will still reach teh bottom. What you do have to do is fishmouth the opening of that rubber hose or it will stick to teh bottom of the tank, or so I have been told, it may not be so...
