fuel line replacement?

[transmissions]

I've go a 95 3.0 4x4 splash that im replacing the brake and fuel lines on. It was sitting for a couple years before I bought it, and had fuel in the tank and everything so I'm fairly certain that I'm going to need a whole fuel system. When I removed the fuel pump it was crystallized and all that nasty stuff.
Now that I'm putting the truck back together finally, I need to get new lines, but when I look, the only place that has them is the Ford dealership, and they want about a grand for them. Is there anywhere else I can get a kit from without paying this crazy amount?

I would try to flush the lines. A few years with old gas shouldn't ruin them. I know of vehicles that sat for many years and with fresh gas in the tank started right up.

You can buy some flare kits and a flaring tool, get a roll of line, and make some.

That's what I was thinking. It's not terribly hard (as long as you don't split the flares) and you can use the existing lines as a template. Get a tubing radius bender, while you're at it.

Just remember that you need to do "double flares" on brake lines and I am guessing the newer fuel systems. Single flares just won't take the pressure those systems use. They will split and come apart. You need to get a flaring tool set that can make "double flares" and practice. It is not hard; but, it does take practice.

If you use Nickel-Copper brake line tubing, then it never rusts and you can bend it by hand. It's an inexpensive DIY job.

The fuel lines are 3 rubber hoses fused together, and made of special gas-resistant rubber. Lotsa guys part out old trucks.
If you drop the fuel tank, it's then easier to run the brake and fuel lines along the left frame rail.
