I've had the fuel system done, completely
plumbed with braided steel / rubber lines.
It's about 2 years old now and it started
leaking, not from the fittings but right thru the
hose the whole length of the truck!!
Like a 'weeper' type lawn watering hose!! Needless
to say, I was not impressed. So I
have re-plumbed as much as possible with 1/2"
aluminum tubing. There will be an
18" piece of #8 braided hose from the frame up to
the fuel pressure regulator (mounted on
the RH valve cover) and two short #6 sections
of braided hose from the regulator to the
carb.
I've got the fuel cell mounted now.
It's a 15 gallon unit, with a Ford type sending
unit from Triangle Engineering.
It's aluminum with safety foam, very nice quality,
I highly recommend their products.
I designed the frame with this fuel cell in mind.
I added the 1" square tubing frame
work around the cell to add a little protection
and much needed weight in the very rear
of the truck. I have installed the fuel pump,
filter and pressure regulator. The
pump is a Mallory 140 with matching Mallory billet
filter and non-return type pressure
regulator. The fuel lines are Russell braided steel.
