I have a folder with a ton of how to work with, splice together etc... nylon Fuel Line.
Here are a few
Pretty ingenious method I found tonight while doing some research on Nylon fuel lines. Budget fuel line option raiding the yards, and doing this saves some $$$LOOT!!!$$$ All new cars have this type of fuel line and fittings I've been told. Saves you the $100 on the Dorman Nylon compression...

Instead of using Stainless Steal why not go with the Copper/Nickle, much easier to work with, and corrosion resistant. It`s used for brake line also.
here pick your favorite one...
A fe years back I replaced the rear 19 gal tank for a 38 gal tank. new senders rear and front tank and a new (market is flooded with chicom knock off FSV) FSV for $50. All worked well for a while. I ran mostly off the rear tank, but once in a while go to the Front.
The valve started to act up a bit, so just used the rear tank.
Then one day last spring flipped the switch to see if it would work....long story... got stuck pulling from rear, and returning to front tank. then eventually over flowing and creating a puddle under the truck. not good at $4 a gallon.
After much fiddling around with trying to splice the plastic line etc.... Finally the rear line goes straight to the engine, and return goes back to rear.
I had trouble with some of the Dorman quick splices leaking.
Decide to use front tank for a transfer tank. Mounted a Facett for the transfer pump.
Rubber hose to Facett, then rubber hose to the rear Fill tube. Drilled a hole in it`s side, to where a 3/8" brass barbed/threaded fitting would screw into the hole and JB Welded it.
Gave the FSV the deep 6, the 2 wires from the senders, ( one blue/yellow, and one yellow/Blue) connected them to a Weather Pack plug.
(Y/B rear tank)
There is a Yellow/white that goes to dash switch and to the gauge. Connected it to the Y/B. Now have a working gauge.
The B/Y wire from the front tank, Iam working on how to run it up to the Inst. Cluster. thinking of replacing the inop Amp meter for another Fuel gauge. Just need to figure out the wireing in the 18 pin plug plus the traces on the cluster.
The Factory system is a simple system when you think about it, until the FSV causes the big problems.
