I have a 1974 f100 351m, I recently put a new fuel pump in, and in the process took the fuel line out, I put it all back together and now the little rubeer hose from the fuel line to the fuel filter is cracking and dry rotting, and also I replaced the little rubber hose when I did the fuel pump about 6 months ago, I think i route the fuel line wrong, and was wondering if anybody knows the correct way to route it
Thanks in advance

The 351m should have a hard line from the mechanical fuel pump to the carburetor. If that has been replaced with hose, it routes the same way-up the front of the block, behind the power steering and a/c, if so equipped.

The bigger problem may be ethanol gas eating up your fuel hose. The hose designed for EFI is far more expensive, but it will last batter. And you only need less than three feet of it...

 

If one hose is bad it would make sense to inspect the rest of the fuel hoses....

 

Ethenol is EVIL.
