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. |

QUOTE(Steve @ Feb 18 2018, 10:44 AM)  I have a 75. It is nice to install longer hoses so you can rest the tank on the fender, but it also makes it easier to pinch the fuel lines when putting the tank back. Makes sense to use a longer length...... but please give me an idea of the length. I have no reference point to start from. The car came with a very short length..... so not sure what "longer" means. Certainly longer than 3 inches that were there.... but I can see that "too long" will also cause issues. Not much room in there, as I look through the access port.
