Suburban fuel tank in my 72 truck
I have a tank from a 70 suburban. If this was yours and wanted to install it, how would you do it?
Fuel lines is mainly what i am wanting to know about. Since I can do alot of things, I can do this, BUT i need good instructions on how to do things. like: --type of line, metal or what. --Do i get metal fuel line tubing and a hand bender and run them? --Look at picture of the tank. Drivers or passenger side facing? and what about the fuel filler neck and where? Are there two lines going from the tank to where? OR just look where the existing ones are going to? So, thanks in advance, I just need set and pointed in the proper direction. Thanks Ron

-Suburban fuel tank installation should be with metal lines..the option exists to "make-your-own" or a pre-bent set of after-market Burb lines (may require modification/shortening if installation is planned for other than a Burb) will get the fuel heading forward. One line going forward to fuel pump is for fuel supply; the other line going forward vents to a charcoal cannister element mounted on the inner passenger fender.
-As you look at the picture, you are facing the rear of the tank....fill tube and vent/overflow "tubes" are on the left (as pictured). On the Burb, there is another piece containing two size pipes that goes from fender (outside) to the tank and is connected to these lines (shown) by means of rubber gas-resistant hoses. Hope this gives you some idea of what might be involved. 7T1BURB Last edited by 7T1BURB; 11-04-2004 at 05:57 PM. |
