Sure you could. But I would use a short section (6" - 8") of rubber or braided stainless between the steel line and the fuel rail. I would think there needs to be a little something there to take up any twist and vibration, like an OEM setup is.

I don't remember if you are using the stock in-cab tank, and something in the rear. Does the in-cab tank have a threaded fitting on the fuel line into the sending unit?
