I'm anxious to replace my rusted fuel line before it starts leaking. Found this online: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=SUM%2DTANKKIT2&view=1&N=700+150+4294924496+4294923362+400304
Anybody use something like this before? Suggestions?
Also, my tank is in the cab, thinking it might be a good idea to buy a replacement that fits under the bed. Any plastic products out there that you could recommend, made to fit a '73 W100?

I have made complete fuel systems out of the stainless braided fuel line. If you use it correctly and use AN fittings it can be pretty costly are you going from the tank to pump to carb or just from the pump to the carb? IF you are going to use the line with just hose clamps I will warn you that this hose is very tough and doesn't hold well with the hose clamps this is from personal experience.I would do some homework on all of the fittings that it takes to install this hose and the prices.

You can buy new fuel line tubing at Advance and other parts stores. I wouldn't waste the money on the braided stuff. Just replace the steel line w/ new tubing and replace the rubber bits and go.

I got the kit that Summit offered with the electric pump, the braided stainless hose, and the AN fittings. Got a better deal that way.
