Just get rid of the hard line and put a hose on it. Takes 20 minutes and hose clamps more reliable fittings then the stock connectors anyway.

it goes in to the tee thing and turns to plastic hose then runs to the top of the tank , to replace it all with regular fuel line i would have to drop the tank ,

I poured some radiator Stop leak in the fuel tank , Maybe it will fix it

No you don't. Just cut the fittings at the T and the fuel tank unless you know how to get them off the right way, I didn't. Then run the hose from the T to the top of the tank. If you crawl under the truck feet first you can sit up once your under there and get to the top of the tank with it in place. Just put you head up in between the body panels and the frame rails. Plenty of room.

yep. And it's been that Banjo every time. I used the 2 Cycle for several months and every since then i have had to tighten it up avery 5000 miles or so cause it works lose again. That stuff makes some great penetrating fluid. I've used it on several frozen bolts since i figured this out.
