Can anyone point me to a source to lengthen fuel line to move tank forward?
I see lines and fittings all over the place for almost all engines, but no cross reference to old chryslers. I'm planning on a 10', 3/8" line. I was thinking about putting sleeves in the current line, thus using the existing fittings, but the more forum I read on long lines, it seems prudent to avoid any obstruction to flow through the line. Any tangential advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Any auto store will have ethanol proof hose.Yes too many connections and filters can cause draw problems for the pump.J

I'm feeding a 90, 105, 125, or a 140 (I change engines like some people change underwear) with about ten feet of 3/8 hose. I have two 5 foot lengths with a 3/8 brass, barbed hose fitting joining them. I needed to get the weight of the tanks out of the stern and forward. I built new seat boxes and store the tanks there. Once primed, 3/8 will deliver all the fuel your engine needs.
