I've begun my fuel delivery upgrade with the removal of the fuel tank. Everything went as planned until I needed to remove the tank from the car. The article, from PP, suggested that I lift the passenger side and cut the fuel lines at the bottom of the tank. I was unable to lift the tank high enough on the passenger side, but I was able to lift it on the drivers side (the rubber lines were about 4" long). The only way I was able to cut the lines was with a hacksaw blade. After removing the tank from the car, the next problem I ran into was removing the metal fuel lines from the bottom on the tank.
After removing the large nut, how do I remove the line (see attached pic)? Do I need to keep the larger line (3/8") or the smaller line (5/16") if I'm running dual webers? Attached image(s)
