Re: Fuel Line replacement questions

My fuel tank had a bad bung fitting on it so I never could get a good seal on a steel line. Also with the electric priming pump and fuel filter back near the tank, I went and changed it up a little bit.

So I installed a hose barb fitting on the take with a little teflon tape to make it seal, and then there is an 18" run of fuel injection hose from there up to the hose barb on the fuel filter located in frame rail channel. Then it runs right into the fuel pump, and then into the the metal cupro line that runs all the way up to the mechanical pump on the engine following the same route as the original one it replaced.

So basically a flex line of modern fuel resistant heavy duty injection hose between the take and the frame rail mounted fuel filter. This made it a lot easy to clean out the fuel filter when I was having tank debris issues at one time.
