Below the fuel tank? Doesn't the tank connect to the line via gas hose?

Who are you---a clone of Wrecked Chevy?

Here are my pics of my fuel and vent lines (second upload attempt).

1). Left to right: fuel line, rear part of vent line, front of vent line.



2). Under cab: top is rear of fuel line, middle is brake line, bottom is rear of vent line (notice is passes through the frame member).



3). Under passenger side door: the connection of the 2-piece vent line.



4). Vent line front: here the vent line passes through a spring and attaches to the frame via a clip. The black hose connects it to the charcoal canister.



These are all the pics I have on file. I hope they help.

Re: Fuel line, brake line routing on 72

I'm not sure if this is what you are asking for, but here are 5 pictures tracing the lines from front to the tank connection on my 69 3/4 ton. I know the front lines are different for your disc brake 72, but these are likely the same. Perhaps someone can confirm.

Edit: Oops... forgot about your vent line...

Never heard of Wrecked Chevy - though I'm sure you have good intentions He asked for 'below the fuel tank' not the entire line. And look, you've got the the gas hose.

Re: Fuel line, brake line routing on 72

On a 72 shouldn't there be 3 lines that run in the frame?
1. a line that runs to the charcoal canister
2. a fuel line that runs to the fuel pump
3. a return line that runs to the fuel pump.

so with those three plus the brake line there would be 4 hard lines running in the frame?

In the ten ring - so from top down you have the fuel line, brake line, then vent line. does yours have the return line? my fuel pump has two connections on it.

thanks
jeff

Re: Fuel line, brake line routing on 72

I got a question, 350 sbc w 4barrel, fuel line from tank to fuel pump size 3/8
307 sbc w 2barrel the same line would be 5/16
Is this correct?
Just removed the tank from the cab and installed a new fuel tank under the bed so I'm running new fuel line from the new tank to the fuel pump so wanna get this correct on the fuel line size.
I have a 350 sbc w a 4 barrel carb..
