Renovation has now moved on to the fuel tank and associated lines, etc. and have a few questions... working on body off, rolling frame with engine and drivetrain in place, but fuel tank out for relining.
(1) The hard lines (tubes) from the tank to fuel separator are all rotted out and I need to replace them. Looking for ideas/ suggestion for what to use. I'm assuming these tubes are no longer available OEM, but will check standard sources for new or used. All hardlines except for the two that run down the right side of the frame (larger diamater tube) will need replacing.
(2) The two fuel hard lines that run along the passenge side rail have different geometry. Is there anyway to identify which one runs on the top or bottom (i.e., length, height, etc.) I took them off to beadblast and paint, and my before picture sucks! I've played around with them, but seems that I can make them "fit" either way (sort of.) If anyone could post a picture, possibly with the tubes layed out on the floor in proper orientation, that would be super.
(3) In general...a process question....for someone who has "been there - done that"...
Best or easiest way to reinstall tank and associated lines?
Lotsa questions, thanks in advance...
Cheers, and keep on Cruising!
