I guess you know I have been working on hard lines for my 26
this is not easy
here are some hints I am collecting along the way(work in progress)
http://goo.gl/XtGJ3
tanks - to Emery, Garton, and others, for their early work I have shown
I think :
* Every GMC will have to drop it's tanks --- (7000 - GMCs)
* more than once-- unless you go to all hard lines
* I did not know Emery used pre-made brake lines for his work (would have
saved a lot of time)
* I am not there yet,
* I think there is a place for a "parts" kit to do this (someone) I spent
weeks looking for parts
THERE IS MORE TO COME
maybe the 23 will make it to TI

Damn,
Sorry to hear that. You're due for your luck to change soon.
When I come over an we install you're new wireless air system in your 23' you'll feel better!
I'll feel a lot better when I get my gas tank back pressure issue fixed.

I am going to have to have the tanks down again....
The calibration of both sending units is way off - high.
I plan to correct that and maybe remove the pick up socks.
If possible, I will take and post pictures and diagrams, but that is very difficult to do when working alone.

Give me a shout when you get ready to do it. If I'm available, I'll swing by and bring my camera. I can also bring the flaring tool if you think you'll need it.

To make this work you need a parts kit
Pre bent brake poly lines
Flares done
Fill pipes from Jimk
Etc
Maybe Jimk will do it
7000 GMCs need it done

We might bribe the owner into letting a few of us camp out there for a couple of days and get work done on some coaches.

Dan;
We are in.
Susie has family in Pinconning MI.
Some time this spring would work for us.
Not much for traveling in to cold country in the winter.
Plus I'm in for right knee replacement this week.
I'll be down for about four to five weeks.
All is well with my Lord

I'm just about to dig into this project and have a connector question. I've followed all the fuel tank threads and it seems like double flares are the way to go, so my plans are to obtain the Eastwood flaring tool and give it a try (I am a little concerned about home-made flares on critical joints) and use a combination of flared joints and compression fittings as it seems to be the way to go. My question: Is there a preferred source/brand of brass compression fitting that is superior to others for this application?
Thanks in advance - couldn't do it (very well) without this forum and everyone's combined wisdom.

Gene - thank you for the links - I completely missed the suggestion about using poly armour brake lines with pre-made flares.

buy the completed, poly brake lines, the flares are already done
