I am doing an extensive rebuild on a 74 and am not finding much help on this issue. I want to completely replace the old flexible fuel line system. Where can I find the right material and sizes for the following hoses. Has someone done a write up similair to the tech articles here on a complete fuel line rebuild showing process and material.
1. Clear supply and return running through the tunnel ( i will use other material if someone can recommend. ) 2. braided or sheathed hoses connecting the tank to the clear lines. |

For the pressurized lines, use only the hoses approved for Fuel injection service (I think it is SAE 30R9 rated fuel injection hose). They are heavier wall and have metal reinforcement. A good shop should have both the braided and unbraided stuff.
Clear lines are used only in the vapor recovery systems and you can use any gasoline compatible material as there is very little pressure on these lines.

Both lines running from the tank down the center channel are clear now. They do not switch to black rubber or braided.
