Default Fuel line question

2000 f body

Next time I have to mess with my fuel lines I’m wanting to run an 8AN and reroute my 6an to run where the factory lines are running now. Is this possible to get the factory lines out of there without dropping the tank? Currently I just have my return running down the tank with the wiring harness.

Yes, you can remove the fuel line without pulling the tank.

that’s awesome. I tried before to pop it out of the line holder that runs along the molded channel in the tank but I couldn’t get it. I can just barely see it looking into my trap door I cut for the pump but I gave up. Any tips? I’m honestly thinking of cutting a second hole. LOL. but yea, I’m afraid I’ll rip the stock feed out and won’t be able to route my lines back through it. Either way, next time I need to mess with my pump I’m going to have to put a union in my return, fragolas PTFE combo efi fitting is absolute hot garbage, it just won’t release. Tried a cheap disconnect and then a lisle one. I eventually just Had to break the barbs and I had just enough line to replace the fitting. I’ll be going with a russel screw in lock style next go round. Thanks for telling me it is at least doable.

I was referring to the hard line to the fuel filter not the plastic line to the fuel tank.

Oh damn. Do you think it’s possible to get the plastic lines out? I don’t know if an 8AN line will fit down with my wiring harness etc.
