fuel line overhaul

[TSPowell]

The old beast has 271,000 miles with the stock fuel lines. Right now she wont start, because of the leaking fuel lines that everyone has problems with. I figured if Im going to do it,might as well do it right. So I want your input.

Im currently redoing to set up on my 04.5 with the kit from GDP. Seems really nice, and there is a Push-lok dealer where I live, so I have access to all the different fittings and hose they make. Im going to do a custom job on the 95 with Push-lok.

Im thinking about running rubber through out the whole system. I know everyone says "make sure you get diesel rated line." I don't know if the line from push-lok is but GDP is selling it and he puts together good stuff.

1. Run rubber line from the tank to the lift pump. Im thinking of bypassing the whole heater/filter portion and go straight to the lift pump. Heater causes problems (leaks) and Ill use an inline filter from Fleetguard.

2. Probably use the stock line from the lift pump to the filter. I haven't really thought about this portion yet. Just changed my mind; Ill come up with something.

3. Use rubber hose from the filter outlet to the injection pump. Push-lok makes banjo fittings.

4. Lastly, from the overflow valve straight to the tank.

I would really like to take advantage of a Walbro pump and go from the tank to the canister filter and completely remove the lift pump. Better yet, If I could figure out what to do with the injector manifold drain line, I would run line from the tank, to a Walbro, through filters mounted on the frame then straight to the injection pump. I belive GDP is working on that right now but I dont have time.

Any input, suggestions would be great. I will be starting on this project soon!
