Blake:

I used about 21 ft of 7mm (fuel Injection, high pressure) hose on my
87.
Yes! replace the "Y" fittings as well as the $2 grommets (above tank,
fuel filler, and filler breather)...  Plan for this adventure, it can
take
a week to get the parts.  I choose to lower the tank... I wanted to
replace
upper/lower Rad. and heater hoses too.  If you take this route, empty
the
tank first.. It can be pretty heavy, even with a couple of gallons in
there.

Also a good time to check the front heater valve, Rad. and Spare!
