Re: fuel lines for 87 tbi truck

I do not know were you can get them, but i would probably just get some metal lines, bend them and then use some hose clamps....

Are these the ones from the sender to the 6 port selctor valve(dual fuel tanks)? I have taken a look at fuel lines, and know that very little rubber lines were used ...Some hose pieces are only about 2 inches and some longer. ..

Im not sure where to get formed lines but you should be able to use straight Fuel injection hose from the parts stores. if they are not lineing up enough to keep from kinking, you can losen the lock ring on the sending unit and just turn it till it does line up.
