If you're careful with your fuel line run, you can make gentle bends in the lines without worry of kinks, or the need of 90* fittings. If my line came close to a heat source, I used aluminized sheathing to protect it. If there was a sharp edge that the line rubbed against, I used rubber hose sliced lengthwise to cover that section

I pulled that from Rock Auto - so who knows if its an actual picture of the sender or just a similar one. Its part number FG05N for a 1987 V10 pickup. From my research its the correct one to use for the EFI tank from the same year if you have a passenger side fill (Which I do.)
Good to know that you can do gentle bends. Because my truck is quite low I was just making best effort to keep everything as tight to the body or frame as is possible given this will see 3 season daily use on some questionable roads. I may be able to figure out a way to route that I wont need any hard line for corners, I'll have to play that by ear I suppose.
