Looks like the 3/8" siphon tube on my factory pickup is not going to do it. Isnt there a company (I thought it was classic industries), that makes 1/2" pickups?

In photo 2C we see the stock fuel tank pick up that has been modified with a new 1/2" fuel line. It only took about 30 minutes to remove the old fuel line, bend the new 1/2" line to match and then weld it in place and cover it all with Seal All sealant.

Yeah, but he didn't put the level sender back on! I kinda like that part! Not to mention he cut the lines too short to reach the factory hose attachment area.

That link provided more than fuel pick-up info. Their brake link may have just put me on the path to solving a problem I've been having that has me pulling my hair out.

Oh, the wonders of the Net...
