I think the lines your talking about are vent lines. The fuel line I think is on the driver side bottom nest to the fuel pump. Changing this line and the rest of the fuel lines does not require pulling the tank down. However to get the vent lines does. JFF >Does anyone have any ideas on replacing fuel lines ?
