I have been having some air leak issues seen through the Fuel Filter, causing havic with the carb/engine. I've replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and all hoses in the engine bay. I've made the decision to drop the fuel tank (there's only a single rear tank on the truck).
Because of all the effort I'm going to go through to drop it, I wanted to get some insight of things I might want to do when I drop the tank and inspect the sender/dip tube/filter etc. Is there anything to look for?
Once I re-install the tank, what are peoples feelings regarding running 5/16" nylon tubing from the tank all the way to the Fuel Pump - eliminating the metal tubing that's in mediocre shape at best. If I do it, is there any "firesafe" tubing that I need to use, or is standard nylon tubing acceptable?
