Fuel line completely replaced

So I did that job yesterday evening. There is clear reinforced UPVC fuel line in one run from back to front. The old copper line is left in place, no real good reason to remove it, it may prove to not be the problem at all and will possibly go back to it. It worked for years after all, so it's only a possibly contributor to the problem, not the actual cause, I have to accept that.

The trickiest thing was where to run the PVC line. couldnt follow the copper line as too close to the exhaust. Had to be careful following the chassis due to constant movement of the axle and potential for snagging or even crushing under extreme tilt. (although unlikely, had to consider it)

Ended up like this:



















ACCC night tonight, but no trust to undertake such a journey in the dark even if I get a test drive in earlier in the evening. So I'll be driving Roly and use the opportunity to get some advice if I can. A guy in the club with an A70 Hampshire had exactly this trouble a couple of years ago, so I want to talk it through. Cant remember if he had the tank out in the end or not, that may still be the inevitable answer and I am in denial! Is it such a big job? Not really, it's just having all that petrol sloshing around that makes it a pain.
