A lot of people have problems with fuel line replacement as the stock fittings are an odd duck 5 AN (37 degree JIC ). This is what I have done to my MEP-003a. This is also what we use on our busses. There "DOT" brake line hose with compression fittings. I changed out all the lines after I cleaned up my fuel pumps. Also removed one pump and am keeping it for a backup.![Vacation Orcas Island 4-15 to 18-2014 096.jpg Vacation Orcas Island 4-15 to 18-2014 096.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/334/334362-2ce8b1c4ea92a3b099ca718b5f3440df.jpg)

The only problem is you have to make up a fuel tank suction pipe. I took one of the 90 degree fittings and drilled out the bottom to 5/16", then using a 14" long piece of 1/4" copper tubing I soldered it in place. Works great !
I should mention that the hose is only $1.00 per ft. If you have to replace a line all you will have to buy is a new ferrule and the hose.
