Re: Com' On PO - Dangerous Fuel Lines

If you have more than about 6 inches of rubber fuel in line in the ENTIRE truck you are asking for trouble. There are only two pieces needed: a short flex segment where it goes from cab to frame and a second one where it goes frame to pump. That much rubber may not even be legal for all I know, but would never pass a safety inspection. And it wouldn't be allowed near an NHRA track (not that you likely care about that). So now that everyone has told you steel lines:

You can buy pre-bent lines for most of it. I enjoy making my own lines, and if you stick to the copper-lines mild steel stuff it's even fun and can be done with a hand-tool.

Stainless is WAY harder, don't try it your first time.
