Tank hoses...

You mean the two hoses under the tank?! They appear fairly aged but not destroyed - guess I could replace them. I need to put in Viton-lined lines anyway and maybe event clean out my tank. Some more questions related to that:

1) How difficult is it to clean the tank and then to purge the fuel lines of all the air?! I've seen a DIY article on it but never done it...

2) What size of hose clamps do I need for connecting the 5/16 ID fuel lines to the steel lines (both in the engine compartment and under the tank in the rear)?!

Thx in advance -
