I recently got done with my rear fuel tank install. I ran a new 3/8" steel line from the new gas tank up to where the OEM steel line for the in-cab tank begins.

I bought a new piece of rubber fuel line and relocated my fuel filter from the engine compartment to here. If I am going to have a fuel leak I would rather have it down there than on top of my engine (the exhaust is not near this spot on my truck). Basically if you were looking at my frame rail it goes:

Carb---OEM Steel fuel line---rubber hose--fuel filter---rubber hose---new steel fuel line---rear mounted gas tank

Then I used some insulated hangers to keep the new steel fuel line snugged up to the frame.

Hope that helps
