Re: Fuel line question
You need a flexible hose between the end of the steel line at the front of the frame and the fuel pump.
On a Steel line like that one in the photo I usually cut the end of the line off, remove the fitting and put it in my brass fitting box and take my double flare tool and do the first stage of a double flare so I have a bulb on the end of the line to hold on the hose and hose clamp. The same as you see on the tube on an inline fuel filter.
I would put a fuel filter between the tank and the fuel pump. That helps keep stuff out of the pump that can get stuck in the valves of the pump. I've done that on everything that I have put together since 1981 when i got stuck at the top of the Contental divide on 90 in Montana with sand in the pump.
55/59 shows to have a flex hose between the seat tank and the fuel line.
