fuel line routing for OEM auxilery gas tank

Post by CobrajetF-250428 »

Okay guy's I need some help with my NPD stainless steel replacement fuel line. I have decided to use the auxiliary 25gal. tank as my main tank and ditch the behind the seat tank which includes omitting the manually operated fuel valve next to the seat. I bought a stainless steel replacement line from NPD for a mid-ship mounted tank WITHOUT the behind the seat tank my 1970 F-250. I am trying to figure out the proper straightening of this fuel line but have nothing for reference to get me started. I took pics of the installed auxiliary tank before removing but lost them. Can anybody assist in help with pics and or instructions in how the metal fuel line meets up with the auxiliary sending unit pick up and what position the sending unit tube is facing where the connect via rubber fuel line ? The schematic on this sight show it pointing up but that doesn't seem to jive with the stainless line I bought.............Thanks, Rob

This is my fuel tank, there is a rubber line to the electric fuel pump then it connects to the original metal lines up to the front. There is another rubber line from the frame to the carb.
