tate it into the tank with the fabri-
cated tool. Make certain the 0-ring
is properly seated in the fuel tank
opening. Install and tighten the
filler pipe retaining screws.

absorbers and torque the retaining
nuts to specification.

fuel leaks.
FUEL LINES
The various fuel lines are not
serviced as assemblies. They must
be cut, squared and formed out of
rolls of fuel system service tubing
and hose material of the specified
•ilze (Fig. 2), available at dealerships.
A damaged section of tubing long-
:~ r than 12 inches can be cut out of
the existing line and replaced by a
,,xm1parable service tubing section,
·;pliccd into the line by means of
.,:on nect ing hoses and retaining clamps.
A damaged section of tubing
.,,orter than 12 inches can be cut
.Jut of the line and replaced by a
!ength of service hose and two re-
caining
clamps. All replacement
hoses must be cut to a length that
will ensure proper clamp reten-
tion beyond the flared ends of the
eonnecting tubing.

gauge sender unit and the fuel pump.
Remove ·the lines from the holding
clips along the underbody. Remove
all damaged hose sections and tube
sections.
INSTALLATION
1. Cut a new section of tubing to
approximately the same length as the
section to be replaced. Allow extra
length for flaring the ends of the
tubing. Square the ends of the cut
tubing with a file.
2. Ream the inside edges of the
cut tubing with the reamer blade on
the tube cutter. Be sure metal chips
arc removed from inside the
tube(s). Flare the ends of the cut
tubing, as required, with a standard
tube flaring kit and tool T62P-9A-
274-A (Fig. 3).
3. Bend the tube section to con-
form to the contour of the original
tube. Cut an ample length of hose to
form a coupling between the flared
ends of the fuel lines. Connect the
hose couplings to the tubing and in-
stall the retaining clamps.
4. Position the lines in the under-
body clips and tighten the clips. Con-
nect the lines to the fuel gauge
sender unit and the fuel pump. Fill
the tank and check for leaks.
