Fuel leak.

[kwplot34]

I have not had the vette out for 3 weeks,so i decided to take it for a spin yesterday and go to a car show. stopped at a gas station for a soda pop,walked around back of the car,and fuel was leaking on the ground, DAMM,Double DAMM.
Dropped the tank tonight and the return line was leaking,build sheet is trash.
I am going to sand blast it tomorrow,paint it and replace the lines. Anything else i should do to it while i have it down??
Inside the tank is clean,the plastic liner looks fine.

Both supply and return line crushed and turned into dust when I touched them.... replace both.... no need to drop the tank if you use SS braided hose instead of tubing, (that;s what I used)... replacement tank is $250 at Mid america.... might be an ok deal compared to blasting the old tank....

Well my tank is in good shape,just 31 years of dirt build up. I borrowed Tim's sand blaster and have plenty of media i use in my cabinet,so it wont cost me anything but some time,and i already have some silver POR15 paint.
I think i will follow your idea on running the line down to the frame,cant believe they ran the steel line all the way up and over the top of the tank,what a pain,not to mention i had to drain the tank.

You might want to check where both lines go under and behind the passenger seat,take 2
90s and go up and over the rr wheel. The lines lay against the frame and usually rot through and leak.
