I got a 35% off coupon from Advanced Auto and though I would use it to buy Poly Amour to replace the fuel lines in the GMC.
That would be two vent lines 3/8" to just before the gas fill up, one fuel line to carb and one 5/16" line to the generator.

I believe Jim K. posted this a few months back but I can't find his posting.

Promo code if anyone else wants to use it is MISSUH41 only good through August 4th or tomorrow.

Bruce,

I went to Advanced Auto Part's web site and I only see Poly Armour brake lines. Am I missing something, or are you looking to use brake lines as fuel lines?

Just did my this spring. For the top of the tanks, you need four 3/8" x 40" and two 5/16" x 40" lines. I say 40" because that is the closest length they sell to what you need. Also you need one foot of 1/4" line for the Onan. I'm thinking they are around $7 each, expect for the 1/4" line.

I used most of a 25' roll - $15. But after straightening it out, I would do the sticks next time.

I finished my 77 transmode coach several weeks ago; used 2 25' rolls of 3/8
poly amour and had about 4 feet leftover. I did all metal on top of the
tanks (gas line and the two breather lines). Metal to the edge of the
tanks where I could attach short pieces of Gates Blockade rubber before
attaching to another metal line. This is the 4th coach I have done this
way. Yes, you have to straighten most of the amour lines.

Important note: I only used hard lines on top of the fuel tanks, low vapor FI hose everywhere else.
