hutch mod question
I looked under my truck today to see what size line it was that goes to the fuel pump from the tank so i could get some to replace it with. I noticed that it was a metal line that came from the tank and then about 8 inches from the pump it goes to rubber and then that crappy quick connect fitting.
So my question is this. do you guys suggest replacing the entire line with rubber or just redo the connections on each end and use hose clamps. My truck is an Early 99. if i were to leave the metal line in how would i put in the pre pump filter.

ITP has a kit that has everything you need. No trips to the parts store because you forgot this, that or the other. It eliminates the in-tank filters so that if you ever get crud in your tank, you don't have to drop it. Just change the external filter which is a water separator. In the winter months. I let it spill a little fuel every few times I fill up since it seperates water from fuel.

It does look like a nice kit! Does Clay offer a kit like this one and maybe for a better price?

Getting rid of the fuel line quick connects is key to the Hutch. Those are pressure sealed connections which in our application are under vacuum. Hence, the primary source of air intrusion. Run fuel line all the way back to the metal stubs and double clamp them.
