Hi Chris, I just did this last spring and let me tell you that if you have one connection that is bad, then most likely, you have several connections that are about to get bad as well (walking wounded). I plan and do the whole gas tank removal procedure and replace all of the fuel lines at once. This way, you get a good idea of how things are laid out and a chance to replace your fuel sender seal as well as the other fuel tank grommets and see how they go. After you've done this procedure, you will have a great respect for how delicate the fuel system can be. And, you should be able to do it the next time without removing the tank. Get the necessary fuel line and crossover tube from Ken at Vanagain and do it right! Also, a word about the cross-over tube. Be extremely careful to not twist the hose on the small tubes. I twisted the new fuel line trying to get it off again and the plastic just twisted right off with it... :( Good Luck, Steven Chris wrote: > > Does anyone have advice for what part numbers I need > and how much I'm going > to have to do to fix this?
