Duel Tank 1987 fuel lines

[y2kvette14]

The fuel lines on this V10 are steel with rubber ends at the fuel tank selector. No parts place lists them. They have a crimp (like on A/C lines) to connect the rubber to the steel line. I'd like to buy new ones since the rubber is very bad condition. I plan to try the hydraulic hose place and take rubber fuel lines along, but am not sure that they can handle the 5/16 and 3/8 lines.

Ok Amazon Hose inTampa was able to replace the rubber hose ends. All is well on these. Now we need the gas tank plastic stone shield for the drivers side saddle tank. Any one know where to find the factory part?

Now we need the gas tank plastic stone shield for the drivers side saddle tank.

A lot of GMSB owners would say "No, you don't."

The conventional wisdom is that those stone shields protect your gas tank from flying stones. But seriously, have you ever heard of anyone's gas tank being punctured by a flying stone?

On the other hand, what does happen with the shield installed (and it has happened to me) is that small stones get thrown up and wedged in between the plastic and the steel tank and settle in there. Once in place, due to normal vibration, the little stone begins to work against the two surfaces. The plastic is flexible enough to bend out of the way. But the steel is rigid and the stone(s) starts to wear against it.

It doesn't always happen, but after a couple of years, its not uncommon for a sharp stone to abrade it's way right through the tank wall.
