Info begging once again.

Does anybody sell these pre-cut, or is it
just buy in bulk and hope you get enough
to do the job?

I know that somebody mentioned a part number
or specification within the last few days
but I can't find it.

What size hoses are used for tank fill and
tank feed to manual fuel pump?

Can these be replace without draining and
dropping the tanks?

i did the job last year, not to bad. I have a throttle body so i
replaced the lines with high dollar hose. while the tanks were down i
replaced my senders.

this info is very close!. also just my .02 replace the hose that
connects the 2 tanks to the metal filler hose and replace the elbow
hose on filler tube. I purchased the 3 hoses from cinnabar.

someone cut holes in the floor to get to the tanks from above, i have
never done it.

Mac,

The fill lines are short, larger diameter lines. and are available from JimK http://appliedgmc.com/level.itml/icOid/481
and other GMC vendors. Many time the fill hoses are reusable -- The first section requires removal of the driver's side panel to access. Note on Jim's site the fuel senders and such as well.

The pick-up lines and vent lines are fuel line available in bulk locally. The hard to find one is the 2-3 foot,1/2 inch vent line from fuel filler to a steel line.

If you are replacing a mechanical fuel pump, you need only about 2 ft of fuel line (3/8 inch, I recall), purchased locally, to go from the steel line to the pump.
