Thank you for your quick response. Ok, So I will get a truck brake line for the fuel line. How much line should I buy? Is 4 to five feet ok? Can I bent it while its in the car? Looks kinda hard to fish the line through the tunnel with the forward bend to the front. Maybe I can fish it from the front to the back, Yes?

I bought 316 seamless stainless tubing from McMaster Carr. Comes in 6 foot length and ships in a tube to keep it straight. With the wall thickness of the stainless tubing the id was slightly larger than the stock line (which, BTW, was good and I don't know why I removed it).

You can bend it up front after feeding it from the rear of the car. Use a small hand tubing bender. You will find the brake line very easy to bend. The stainless line is a little tougher but bends fairly easily with a nice radius and does not flatten. If you go with stainless make sure you specify that it is bendable.
