Any tips on installing tank and fuel lines to make it easier?
Any certain type of fuel line needed? Can i get this at local auto parts store?With the fuel tank back on, but not bolted down, you can place something (I use a squarish piece of 2X4 cut-off
that's handy) under the back of the tank to raise it up a little, to help you get your fingers up in there where you have
to connect the two hoses back to the petcock. Experiment, it is hard for me to say exactly, or even to repeat it
exactly each time, but it is helpful. I shoot a little wd40 in the tip of the hoses as I try to mash them back onto their
receivers on the petcock, though if you get wd on your fingers or the outside of the hose it kind of cancels out any
helpfulness. Don't forget the third hose, its receiver comes out of the bottom of the tank near the same area.
I replaced some vent hoses with hoses from NAPA... they're slightly smaller, but I jambed them on there real good,
works for me. I've not had to replace the fuel hose, I'd be real particular about getting exactly the right stuff there,
being on fire probably sucks
