gastank fell out, help hooking up hoses, pics

[Boggin]

hey guys long story short i was ramming in to my donor b2 for a laugh with my bud, and my gas tank fell out so i got it up with a ratchet strap and ofcourse a big dirty rainstorm while i was doing it, and i had to unbolt the bumper on the old bronco cause the 2 broncos were stuck together, so now i need help hooking the hoses back up on the tank

it looks like those 2 little ends are attached to the hose, so can i just force the hose over the part on the tank and put a hose clamp around it? thanks guys i really need help i would appreciate it

Well, you have a couple options...

You could hit up a junkyard and snag different fuel lines...or...

What I would do, get some high pressure rubber fuel line and run new lines from the tank to the next junction.

i got the hoses rigged up, i jus gotta raise up the tank into place so i can hook the hoses onto the tank above the little crossmember there.

If your tank fell out then you should look in to new straps to hold it in place. A ratchet strap won't last long with the weight of fuel and the moving it will cause during driving. The RCMP Constabulary will not look favorably on you losing a tank on the road and possibly killing someone.
