one should be a vent (you should use it),
one will be a return line (most of these were fuel injection).
doubt that the stock sender will work with your gauge. chevy and ford used different signal ranges.
damn , so should i go aftermarket with the fuel guage?
and is the vent the larger one without the filter on it?
sorry, personally don't know which tube is which
on the gauge, there are different choices, at different levels of complexity and cost.
net, the gauge and sender must match relative to the ohm range for empty to full.
depends on what you are trying to do. cheapest is get a sender that matches your gauge, and figure out how to get that working in the tank. (I cut a new hole in the top of my tank to use the aftermarket gauge, instead of the stock one).
Some have had the gauge redone to match the sender (not cheap, but accurate fit, look, etc).
yeah , the tank i got for free from a sliverado , its got a new pump and sending unit in it,
is it possable to just pick up an aftermarket guage for a silverado and hook it to the tank and go like that?
money is an issue of course due to im already buying a new clutch lol.

what engine you gonna run? the Fuel pump in the tank is for EFI, about 45psi..
carbed engines take 4-7psi.. I don't know if the pump can handle running with that low of pressure, you will definitely need a pressure regulator regardless
sorry, can't help more on the gauges. there should be gauges available for that ohm range.. (I don't know what that is, 0-30 or 240-30) what year was the silverado?
