Default Fuel Lines

has anyone ever changed the stock fuel lines from the tank all the way threw to the injection pump and out threw the return line. im looking at doing custom fuel lines and gettin rid of the banjo bolts and the overflow valve.but i was wondering if any has done it and maybe had part numbers, or will it hurt the truck, im tired of having fuel problems, and its a stock truck, having a hard time getting the 1/2 inch fuel line that goes from the lift pump to the fuel heater and even trying to buy it buy the foot is hard to get as well.

Absolutely, you can do that.

www.vulcanperformance has everything you need. It is likely not listed in the website - but call and to Eric if you can. Be advised good diesel rated fuel line is not cheap.

well u could try to jb weld it but i dont think it would hold and the diesel would eat silicone so that wont work either there was this stuff that our local parts salesman showed at work it was awesome but i cant think of what it was called it sticks to anything but it was like 100 bucks for a 4oz tube
