    Relocated the fuel tank to the rear of the bed for the bag job, right? Now Im having a lot of trouble finding somehwere to make me an extended fuel line with the correct 14x1.5 flare ends.....

    I gues smy question is, what do people do? Im sure Im not the only one whose run into this and befre ya say call a local hydraulic shop, I did. They say hydraulic line uses JIC, which is a 37 degree flare. Automotive flare is 45 degrees.

    Napa, no luck. Called alot of ppl around Atlanta...nothing. What now?

    Do a fuel cell. Use custom braided AN fittings and lines from the tank to the engine.

    My trucks got a wishbone 3 link, never had to move the tank, just raised it.

    Alot of people go this route with bagged trucks I've have noticed, I'm guessing to avoid moving the tank.

    Good luck

    Steve at Cando or whatever it is now hit me and said he's use efi hose and fuel hose clamps not the screw type and it works. 22re fuel pressure is relatively low~38 psi

    a standard brake flare tool should be able to do the flare if you can find the right size tube.

    We decided to run brake line and efi hose with efi hose clamps. Steve at Cando said it works....

    Try a logging supply store. They do all kinds of custom lines and fittings.
