I have a fuel line problem on my rear tank. After 5-10 miles gas not getting to engine (sputtering). If I switch to aux tank, engine comes back. Once I switch back to rear tank 5-10 miles same thing happens. Sending unit is only 2 years old, reads accurate, and I am fairly certain I don't have a dead cat in the tank blocking the fuel. Fuel filters new/clean... I am thinking it may be a block in the fuel line from rear tank to switch valve. So, I plan on replacing fuel line but here are my questions... The current (both) fuel lines are 3/8" rubber hose with cloth sheath at the fuel sending units and at switch valve (standard right?). However, after 5", both the fuel lines switch from 3/8 rubber/cloth hose to 1/4 plastic hose. Is there a reason (safety, pressure) for this? Can I simply use 3/8 fuel hose from point to point and not complicate the fuel line with multiple hose connection, reducers?
