Djtorello Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Does anyone know the pickup/fuel sock inlet size on both the midship and rear 19 gallon tanks for an 82 f100 4.9l? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzFace2 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 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.

FuzzFace2 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Thank you. 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
