Request and a statement...

I need a picture of a 79 or so Filler tube intact with rear tank on a fleetside long bed.

I also need a measurement of EXACTLY how long the pipe is WITH bends and WITHOUT.

Thanks.

P.S. If my comments/statements have been deemed offensive by anyone, I apoligize, I'm a bit hard headed and I am willing to learn, but sometimes logic displaces the willingness to do something. (I.e. Learn)

Your guess is as good as mine. I'm not too computer literate...

I'll do the best I can today.

The ground is still wet from the over night frost.

That answers one of my questions thanks man. Now, if the NEW line is kinking...

Could the new/old line be too long for the new tank?

The length is 14 3/4". My new filler came with a U shaped metal about 5" long to wrap the large hose where it crosses the frame. It has a slight bend about 4" from the end turn down into the tank.

Didnt have to cut it but it was difficult to slide the tank up and the hoses on at the same time. The hose is all the way to the tank and to the lip on the fill tube.
you can see the lip in dennis's picture.

Mine is bottomed out on the lip, and about .5" away from the tank. I wonder if that would be enough to kink it...

I took the eight bolts off the bed of the truck and lifted the bed up and had my buddy slip some 2x4's between the frame and the bottom of the truck bed. Then I could get a screw driver and get the hose clamps off the tank side and replaced all the hoses. Getting the hose on the fill side was a bear but possible. I had to remove the bracket that supports the wheel weel. Don't forget there is a hose clamp holding the filler tubes to the bed that needs to be removed.

It's not a problem of getting it off/on. The problem is it kinking badly.
