Fuel Guru help needed Hey guys!
I'm swapping an 8.1l & 4l80e into my 1986 Chevrolet crew cab. I am at the point where I need to do the fuel system. In doing some research on here, I discovered the nylon fuel line, and think that will fit within my skill set.
But, I want to make sure I have all my ducks in row before I pull the trigger.
Am I missing anything on the list?
And few questions.
How would you do the vent? I would like to keep the canister on the core support and run the vent to it. Will that long of line from the tank to the core support work with fuel injection? Factory, it's 1/4".
Also, how do I make the connection to the fuel sending unit on my truck with these nylon lines?
Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

- Returnless fuel rail from a 2005 8.1l
- Dorman 800-300 Fuel Line Repair Kit
- Dorman 800-072 3/8" bulk fuel line (25 ft.)
- Dorman 800-071 5/16" bulk fuel line (25 ft.)
- Wix Corvette Fuel Regulator 33737
- DEI Fire Sleeve to cover the lines as they travel down the frame along side the exhaust.
