On my G10. Are there any pre-bent metal available? I would like to re-rout the fuel line away from the Headers because it looks way too close and might cause problems. The tank is new but the lines need to go.

All I find is stuff for Chevy pick-ups not a van and want to go with metal. Let me know. That nickel plated line seems to be the choice in a coil and just rout it through

Would a place that makes up hydraulic hoses be able to make up one, a Farm shop, or a Garage maybe too. Some old car guy!!

Hey. I put the nickel coper lines in but now I have Air in the lines and am not getting fuel to the carb. What's the trick to get fuel going again. I have a new sending unit and did not have a problem until I put the new lines in. They talk about air in the lines but how do you get rid of it?

I put fuel in the line from the fuel pump to the tank and it ran until the fuel was out in the line. Not sure what is going on.

Suction? Tight lines? No leaky? 12 volt Rattle pump until you see fuel?

The only thing I think may have happened is maybe the two larger lines were crossed. The fuel return is a small hose. I'll check them in the morning. 90 degrees today.

Well. What a DUMAS. I criss-crossed two of the lines where the frame support hid the transition so now it's working. There's nothing as bad as a not starting engine.
