Need input..............

BaggedC10 · 10-22-2002, 06:48 PM

I'm going to install a fuel cell from Jeg's with a GM sending unit in my bed. From what I was told, you can only use so-much hose. My plan was to run hose from the 3-main frame rail mounted fuel lines to it. Run the hose through the frame rail and then install a L fitting to continue the line directly to the fuel cell. I know this would be illegal, but is it safe? I would install a ground wire to the bed floor or front bed panel too. Is there any way I could install new hard line to the exsisting fuel lines? Any input would be greatly appreciated on the entire setup. Thanks!

Just got a better idea! :) I could do as planned, but install the hose to the factory cross-over cross member. Then, drill one large hole in the front bed panel to install the line to the fuel cell. It would be less line, more simple, and easier to do. What do you guys' think?

That would be nice.

Where could I find some online? Also, could I connect it to the exsisting fuel line, or replace all of it?
