Default Fuel Lines

Eric

Sorry for dragging the chain. Just could not find these photo's. This is my F15 (Not an F15A) but I suspect the layout is the same.

The lines certainly are located on the outside of the chassis. Im pretty sure they go over the top or they may go through a chassis hole.

Now wish Id taken more pictures..

Tony B. I have recently read that some where about the loops in the pipes, but as I recall it was to prevent fatigue, due to chassis flex.

Default More fuel line photos

Here are a couple of photo I have downloaded at some stage. The first one is the fuel line as removed. Second, shows line insitu. The truck may be Ford or Chevrolet, I cannot tell.

Last photo is the diagram from the maintenance manual. There is NO loop in the fuel lines.
Comments, anybody?

Loops may have been added later due to failure in service?

Default Loops

I think they all have loops. The diagram is more of a schematic illustration.
