Question for those that have R&R a Fuel Tank!

[Gpaw44]

Replacing the right fuel tank with the bed on the truck did you lengthen the new rubber fuel lines longer than the original hoses. I'm thinking by adding a longer pieces of hose attaced to the tank first will give me a little more room to attach the hoses to the metal lines coming from swith valve. Thanks in advance.

yep definitely, just cut off what you don't need and save it for a rainy day

I put new hose on leave it long,clamp it to the tank slide more new clamps on the hoses but don't tighten them. Push the tank up in the hole,cut my hoses to length push them on the truck,they'll be a little longer than factory,but I can judge it when I cut. Slip the clamps up,tighten them with a nut driver.

I put longer hoses on mine and reinstalled it last year, works fine. I coiled the excess and attached it to the frame.

Another trick is to use the opposite side sender and loop the hose long enough to drop the tank with nothing keeping it from coming all the way down next time

Just be careful when leaving the fuel lines long. I made mine longer and they ended up kinking.
