Re: Making new fuel lines. What do I need?

First, I would pull the tank, clean and seal it with a fuel tank sealer kit. if it has started rusting, it will continue if you don't seal it. KBS coatings makes a good epoxy sealer for fuel tanks. (It would also be a good time to think about removing the tank from behind the seat and adding one under the bed if you want to.) As far as the hard lines, you can buy pre bent lines, or you can buy steel line of different lengths from the auto parts store with the ends already flared, and bend it yourself. You can also buy bulk 3/8 steel line in a roll and flare it yourself, but it takes a good quality (expensive) flaring tool to make good double flares. Don't even bother trying to use the cheap Chinese flaring tools that most places sell.
