sending units

hello, im trying to figure out what size lines they use for the sending units. im going with -8 braided fuellines from the sending unit with an adapter fitting, but need 3/8" tubing off the sending unit. is there a sending unit that comes with 3/8" tubing?

Factory setup is 5/16" tubing. No 3/8" senders are available for these trucks.

If you find another tank that will fit the truck, good luck making the fuel gauge work right! most all OEM fuel line is 5/16". Unless you're going ***** to the walls constantly with 400+ HP there is no need for 3/8" line.
