I am replacing my plastic tunnel fuel lines that go to the fuel tank with stainless steel lines.
My question is this: The rubber hoses that goes from tank to fuel line, do you disconnect and connect from steering cover underneath or do you allow enough hoses to do it from the top? Thank you in advance for your answer. |

I left 4' of extra hose on mine. Makes it very easy to remove the take. It also makes it easy to kink the lines, so be careful reinstalling the tank!

I just put my tank in last week and left a little extra fuel line thinking I would just hook up the lines then drop the tank the rest of the way in. I ended up taking the tank back out and cutting them short like the stock lines cause I couldn't keep from getting kinks on the line. Its a pain hooking them up from the bottom, but much easier in the end. Just my .02 |
