-PO ran 1' of red fuel line and plugged the end with silicone caulk, just guessing that is not correct;)

Normally its run up into a hole in the frame nearest one you can find on the driverside and the hose end needs to be open. Should be able to use about 2ft of hose. Also you will want to make sure the fitting in the housing is not plugged up. As they tend to plug up over time especailly if the line was ever off.

I ran my vent line on the front end into the engine bay and on the rear I ran inside the bed area. I then took and cut a couple pieces of brake line about three inches long. I flattened one end and drilled several small hole in the line. I put one in the end of each vent line and fasted with a hose clamp. Zip tied them up out of the way. No big chunks of dirt can get in the hose to plug it up.
