Howling.Wolf Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Maybe you can just put a hose there and they'll work? ... and a float. The whole unit is rusty, and propably the tank too. I’ll change the whole. Such a hassle dismounting the tanks. I will be happy for not having to that then for the next couple of years.

Howling.Wolf Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 That's the best way. New. now that everything is accessable....

What would you do ? Thanks and haveaniceday. Heinz I think the nylon lines are much better than rubber hose, so I wouldn't change. But I would check the lines over to ensure they've not been damaged anywhere. I replaced all of the original lines on Big Blue with new nylon lines because I was going from a system with a switching valve to one with wyes. But had I not been I'd have stayed with the original lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought its easier to reconnect them as the lines to the tank in the back are a little short and I will have to lift the tank and also make the connection at the same time. But its managable.

Yes, the connections in back are a bear! Been there, done that, and have the scars to prove it. But I'll bet you will get it done nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll bet you will get it done nicely. Just a quick satus report: Tanks (the side one (Spectra) from Rockauto and the back one (Sherman) from Carid) are on their way. So are both complete Delphi sending units. I‘ll expect it all to be here some time between Wednesday and Friday. Sorry Gary, but I changed the long fuel lines against rubber ones to the rear already, they didn‘t look too good. While waiting for the parts I changed the shocks. Must say the were as good as no shocks 😂 U all haveniceday Heinz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you will have a completely new system. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
