Show me your Boyd Welding Gas Tank Connections

I bought this gas tank a while back and I am just getting ready to install it. I know there are fuel line kits to use with it, what I like to see is specific pictures of the fuel line connections, and what fittings were used. Trying to find out if I should buy a fuel line kit, or if there are other ways to connect it. Appreciate your replies.

I don't have pix but I just got -6 Russell fuel line from summit for feed and return. 20' is how I bought mine. Since I have an external pump, I had to buy more fittings but that's what I did and used dual line rubber lined hose clamps every 18".

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply Clyde. I am contemplating different options right now, will look into yours. I went to Lowe's and bought a couple of fittings for my gas tank. Trying to see if I can do this without buying the complete fuel line kit. I noticed it doesn't have all the fittings I need so I will need to buy extra fittings if I go with the Tanks Inc EfI fuel line kit, or the Boyd Welding fuel line kit.

I want to do this as soon as possible. Looking at the twist-lok Russell fittings too. Just like to get a few more ideas. I will post whatever I ended up using. Thank you again.

This is the setup I ran on my '71.

I used the original fuel line vent from and mounted it inside my drivers side step side wheel well using the existing bolts.

I hope that helps.

Edit: I don't have a LSx in my truck (yet) but I'm running the FiTech fuel injection with the Boyd Welding tank

Here is what I used, all the lines were from the Parker Store AN-6 and -8

Thanks for that diagram and the picture, I will probably use half of those parts listed. Pictures help a lot, thank you.

I have not done this yet, but I was also thinking on using hard aluminum 3/8 pipe, flare it and use new fittings on the ends, I like the braided fuel line though. Not sure which way exactly to go yet, I know I have to buy the corvette filter. Once I get that I'll connect the fuel lines.

Like to try to spend as little as possible, lol. I'll post pics once I am done.

I used Russel AN fittings and braided fuel line. I don't have exact parts list though.. I pieced mine together from summit. I used the internal Aeromotive pump with my vette FPR also. Worked great so far and no more gas fumes!
