How to extend gas lines when relocating tank???

what are you guys using to extend the fuel lines when you relocate your stock tank behind your axle?

Just some approved gas hose I would think. I havent ran mine yet so I am up for some suggestions also...

you could use some sort of hardline....i think that would look better but places do sell "fuel hose" or whatever you want to call it.

When i did mine on my old yota i used a hard line for the pressure line with FUEL INJECTION rubber hose at both ends. Its a lot cheaper that way if you have the fuel injected motor because the fuel injection hose is super expensive. If yours is carbed then you wont need the high pressure stuff. For the other lines you can just use regular rubber fuel line.

i just did mine on my dime and i used just some approved fuel line from my local auto parts store and used barb fitting with hose clamps to seal it up works nicely no leaks at all

its the 22r motor so im carbed. so your saying a need to use hard line for the presure line and rubber hose for the others? or sense mine is carbed could i use rubber hose on all the lines?

to be honest dude i am not 100% sure but i wouldnt think it would matter i know they have 2 diffrent kind of hoses tho i asked him and he showed me one that was for fuel injected and it had a mesh in the middle for strength i think he was saying use hard line for the appearance....could be wrong tho

i did my on my truck a lil while ago and i just went into auto zone and ask for high pressure gas line. that worked perfect for me and it was pertty cheap to!

If yours is carbed then you can just use regular fuel approved line. The high pressure stuff is for the EFI because of the high pressure that the fuel pump puts out. Just use the regular fuel line and you will be good. Use good hose clamps to.

I was sayin to use the hard line to save money. The fuel injection rubber hose is really expensive and will cost a lot to run all the way from the back to under the cab where it connects.
