    12v cummin fuel line routing

    I bent my stock gas fuel line halfway across the engine crossmember, and cut it at a straight section. going to put the return line from cummins engine to that. and run a new suction line. helps with aireation in the fuel if you return the fuel into the bottom of the tank, instead of splashing it.
