yep, that diesel, it don't come out. Did you drain the tank first? I've been on fumes all week in anticipation of this job, which looks like it might get put off for a few weeks.

Did you remove all the old lines? I am considering leaving some of the old line above the rear suspension, so I can zip tie to it. The long runs under the car I will remove, and try and get the new lines into the old mounts. Of course, I'll have the car on a lift, making it much easier to do. My condolences/congratulations for going after fuel lines on the ground, does not sound like fun.

I bought a spool of 5/16 line from NAPA, think it is listed as brake line, not fuel line. Fairly flexible, and I don't anticipate much issue snaking it in from the front, making as close as possible bends for over the rear suspension. Going to do the brake line while I'm there. It's not leaking, but has some corrosion from being in those hangers with the fuel lines.
