The Rubber Hose is a short length of flexible tubing. Its job is to siphon gasoline out of cars.
Fuel matters to anyone who drives. Parked and abandoned cars hold gasoline in their tanks, and the hose is the tool that reaches it. The hose is light and easy to keep in a bag.
The hose is a common find in medical rooms, gas stations and corner stores. The Carpenter is the best occupation for tools. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. The Construction Worker and the DIY Expert also start with some Carpentry skill.
Using
The hose is used to siphon gasoline from the tank of a car. Every abandoned car along a road or in a parking lot then becomes a possible supply of fuel. A survivor with a hose can keep a vehicle on the road far from any gas station.
Locations
Medical buildings are the best place to look. Dentist side tables, medical counters and medical storage shelves hold one a large share of the time. Laboratory desks are almost as good. Gas stations of every kind keep hoses on their shelves and in storage, as do convenience stores, corner stores and Zippee stores. Tool caches, police garages and fire station garages turn one up fairly often. Morgue shelves and survivor safehouses also hold them. The hose is a common find overall.

- Medical rooms and gas stations are the most reliable places to find one.
- The hose weighs little, so a spare costs almost nothing to carry.
