Since the weather has been warming back up, I have forgotten that I still have a problem with the truck cranking because of air in the fuel system. I think I'm convinced that the fuel lines supplied to me from AD are now dry cracking and allowing air into the system. I recently discovered fuel leaking from the top of the tank. Something I think is attributed to cracked fuel lines under pressure... It does not leave puddles, but it does drip occasionally.

 

Any thoughts?

 

I'm thinking I might want to redo the line with something else, but dunno what. I also have the JIC(IIRC) fittings, which would need to go or I have to retrofit everything... This makes me sad...

How old are your fuel lines? Mine are 5 or six years old and appear to be in good shape. Mine came with the blue parker hose. 

I think they're about 6 years old?

Another thing to check is the sending unit on top of the tank. Mine rusted out and started leaking on the return line. 

I've already replaced all my pressure and suction lines to the new black hose from Eric @ Vulcan Performance. I still go the old school blue yet on the return line.

I've always used Trident A1-15 fuel line.  If you price shop you can get it for a decent price.

 

I don't want to go into all the pure awesomeness of it, but it's great.  I know it will outlast the truck, so only competition at this point is the engine...

 

Just as an example, a buddy redid his fuel system with 1/2" blue line, he had it a certain way for about a week I think, then he noticed that the way he had it plumbed had it rubbing on the throttle linkage and had worn it pretty good.  Well I had plumbed mine the same way 6 months prior with trident line, so when he told me about his problem, I checked mine, sure enough there was rubbing, but you couldn't tell by looking at the hose.
