Re: Dug's 1959 Fleetside

On the bottom side, I used a Gates #24715 Fuel Hose (1-1/2" - 90 Degree) and a copper plumbing 1-1/4" x 3/4" Reducer. To utilize the factor bracket that holds up the steel filler tube on top of the frame, I will need add one more fitting to make the turn between the Gates Hose and the Reducer. I'll have to buy a 1-1/4" street elbow to do the final connect. See third photo. Forth photo is from under truck showing the 1" steel fill tube from the factory. Fifth photo is shot under the truck of the other end of the 1" tube at the tank. By the way, the factory fill system does not have a vent. Crawled under my buddy's '08 TB the other day and his had a vent. Hoping we haven't added any significant pressure drop to the system that may react badly with the gas pump pressure sensor. I'll devise a shield of some sort to lower the chances of a blowout ripping this out from under the tub.
