Yeah they are fuel injection hoses with a blue liner. They're goodyear brand so they should be good for a while. I hope the pump motor isn't shot....
I'm still trying to find somewhere to dump 12.5 gallons of gasoline thats close by because I don't like the idea of driving around with that fuel tank in the back of my truck.

Heres the pictures of her connector. I "Cleaned" them up with some WD-40,a rag,and flathead screwdriver. It looks like the wiring inside the pump is replacable but I can only find either the motor or the whole assembly.

The "sock" was made black,but it looked like it was covered in lint. In the morning I'll get a picture of the inside of the tank and show ya'll what this thing was sucking. When I took the wiring off,I unbolted the ground wire and it was covered in dirt,rust and other crap. Maybe it didn't get a good enough ground and with the voltage going to it,it was overloading the wire because the current couldn't leave fast enough thus getting it to hot? I don't know,just a 4:30 AM guess. I'm sick of this truck but I gotta get it running for the wife so she'll have something to drive because getting anouther vehicle is just not possible. I took it to auto-zone here (The guys there actually know there stuff.) and one of them looked at it and had the same response I did when I first seen it. I asked him if they had a replacement wiring for it and he said no but to make sure I get that back insulated because fuel and electricity shouldn't be that close together. No wire connection on this pump is insulated,just the wires.

Upon removing the tank,I snapped a bolt on the front tank strap. I got a new one but did not notice this until tonight when I went to put the new strap on. Old one is braded to a bracket on the chassis and I don't have a drillbit or extension cord long enough to drill it out. What can I do to get it out? Once its out,I plan on just using 2 nuts and bolts to re-secure it.
