i went the easy route and cut the bad spots out and reconnected the lines with fuel hose....just till i decide to rebuild the engine and then i'm putting in new lines.

That is the way we install the lines. They will go in from the front. It is a little tricky and some times you have to deflect them a little
to wiggle them into place. There is no way to describe how it is done other than to snake the lines in. I usually put the lower one in first and save the upper for last, (the upper being longer is more difficult).

i decided to yank out the new cooler lines that i installed this past wkend. just looks kinda junky in a nice clean engine compartment to have the lines all twisted 'round in the front of your engine for everyone to see! found a cool little set-up w/ jegs it is part #771-1003.goes on the inside of your frame rail,and will install w/high pressure rubber hose. 1.5"x 2"x24"long.the jr.cooler is the same except 17"long.and no, i ain't towing w/this truck!
