I need to replace the fuel filter and the fuel line that runs from the tank to the fuel filter.

(under the gas tank)

Currently, the fuel line from the tank to the filter is kinking, causing limited flow.....

So..... how long do I make the line from the tank to the filter? I notice there is limited space under the tank. Too short, and the line will bend when you lowere the tank..... too long, and the line will bunch up...... again causing a possible bend.

Anyone know a good length?

I am thinking about 10 inches...... but it's just an eyeball guess.

Hoping to finish this up today..... i look forward to your advice.

Can't give you a definitive answer, and not being a smart ass, but it's the length it needs to be. Mock it up with out the tank. Put the line on the steel tubing and coil it up in the bottom where it rest comfortably without kinks then see what extra you need to attach to tank. If your hands are small enough, it can all be done through the round hole under the tank.
