seems to me

Every GMC will have to drop it's tanks (look at the stains on the top of
the tanks
they all are leaking

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/data/4634/Dropping_the_tanks1.pdf

the question is "how many times"

it does not matter which rubber line you use (mine were all USA made and
USCG approved)
no rubber will last ( especially if it goes around a corner.)

Emery, SteveF, Garton, me, and many others have gone to hard lines
and no vapor recovery.

they show the way

- there are 2 ways to connect to the senders (hard and soft)
- the Onan pick off can be hard line with connectors and flares
- the vapor vents have only the compression fitting, solution
- rubber lines on the top of the tank, are being compressed
- short rubber connectors that are easily accessible will work
- use brake lines with flares already done (I made no flares)
- Polyarmor pipe is too hard to flare and bend, use for long runs (like to
the engine)

There are many engine solutions depending on
- pumps
- tbi
- carbs

- metal
- Teflon
- stainless
- NOT RUBBER :>)
- nylon ?

so
IIWDFI

but
the day will come
