Galaxie fuel line installation problems!!
By Rob - 01/24/2002 2:03:34 PM; IP 205.181.240.133
Hello All,
I recently bought a replacement tank to pump fuel line for my 62 390 equipped galaxie from Classic tube. The line is beautiful, all the right bends in all the right places. My question is this. How do I get it installed on the car without pulling the body off of the frame? I had to cut the old one into 4 pieces to get it off. The clearance between the frame and the floorpan is so tight that I cannot maneuver the turns without straightening them. I really don't want to cut my new 1 piece fuel line, or have to rebend all of my nice bends, does anyone have any ideas as to how i can get the line onto the car without pulling the body off the frame. The car is a driver, not a resto project. In hindsight I should have just replaced the short section that was crushed with a piece of rubber hose. Now I am down a hundred bucks, six hours of work, and my car has no line from the tank to the pump.

Any advice, or similar stories would be much appreciated.

Rob.
