How long ?
« on: February 21, 2010, 10:00:58 pm »
I am trying to figure out how much line to order for my fuel system on my 1987 SWB Pickup. I am not at home to measure so i need some help from you guys.

Line will start at the center of the engine about where the carb would be, will run out the back down the transmission then over to the frame and to the tank. would 10Ft cover it one way for a total of 20 ft of hose for supply and return?

Hose??  Shouldn't have any more than 6" to 8" of hose in a fuel system.

I think I have 3 foot at the rear and about 4 at the front with the frame portion bent.  There are pics in my rides post I believe.
