Replacing original plastic fuel lines with stainless

Hi all,

It's time to replace the plastic fuel lines in the tunnel -- one broke today and I narrowly averted catastrophe. I've got a couple of questions before I dive headlong into this, though. (The car is a '71, 1.7l, d-jet with stock fuel pump.)

1. For now, I only want to replace the lines between the tank and the fuel filter / fuel pump. Can I do this by purchasing only the lines, or do I need anything else?

2. Will it be necessary to find a tapered adapter (914-356-525-00-OEM) to complete the installation? I know one line goes to the fuel filter, and I *think* the other goes to the fuel pump (didn't look before I quit for the night) -- I'm not sure if it mates right up or what . . .

3. Is it necessary to pull the gas tank to do this job? If so, no biggie I guess, I've heard that's not too painful.

Any other observations or advice are very much welcome!

Thanks,

Mark
