Fuel Sender Specs?

Djtorello
Does anyone know the pickup/fuel sock inlet size on both the midship and rear 19 gallon tanks for an 82 f100 4.9l?

Sorry a little late but from the hard line to the pump on the motor I used 5/16" and most likely used the same for the tanks to hard lines and at the tank switch valve.

Before I had fuel in the tanks I tried 3/8" hose into a gas can on the inner fender just to move the truck and it would not pick up fuel from the can even with 2 hose clamps.
Once I used 5/16" hose it started pulling fuel from the can.

I dont remember what size I used for the evap system, maybe 1/4" or smaller?

I can get that tomorrow when I get home from work as I still have my old senders.
Going to bed as I have to get up at midnight for work.

This post was updated on .
Sorry I forgot about this I will try and got out to my garage to measure ASAP

OK I got a measurement of 5/16" on the old rear sender I had under the bench.
I would bet your money the front sender under the bench is the same 5/16"

I also had to use 5/16" hose when I replaced all the rubber fuel hose on my truck.
To measure I used an open end wrench. 3/8" flopped around on the tube, 5/16" did not flop around.

Again sorry been bed ridden last few days after surgery.

No worries, not in any hurry.  I have the rear plastic tank coming from Jeff's bronco grave yard, waiting impatiently on the new sender, and i have a deal with another shop local to be that donating a hydramat to the project.   The tentative date for the new tank, lines and sender is mid May.  

Just get well soon.
