When I replaced my tank I made the choice to make a fresh start with the fuel system. I replaced the sending unit, all fuel lines, fuel pump and added an external fuel filter, the fuel lines became pretty easy after wasting a few lines b/c I pinched them but after a few tries with a $10.00 napa tool I got the feel for it.
As far as the flare goes I just asked a local mechanic shop to flare it for me.. they had no issue doing this for me and even when I offered a few bucks for the couple of minutes it took to do they refused, (good business tactic as now when I need repair work they get my business)
As I was bringing the truck to the above mention shop to get inspected. I hit the brake pedal to put the truck in reverse and the brake pedal hit the floor. The fuel line burst just above the rear brake hose and after close inspection I made a quick decsion to replace all the brake lines.. For this I went with pre-bent lines from inlinetube.com via ebay.. The lines came 2 days ago and look like to be a good quality but will not have a chance to install till Thursday.
