I posted a little while back that I had gas leaking down side of tank after recent fill up. Well I finally got to start working on it. I drained gas from plug on bottom of tank using drain plug. Disconnected the filler tube, and 2 other small lines going in to tank. But can not see to disconnect line off fuel pump assembly. So I remove bolts holding tank and slowly start to lower tank using jack and plywood base.
I start to lower tank and it goes down a couple inches and starts to tilt so I stopped lowering and look at top of tank as best as I can see and feel.I could barely see a vinyl tube that that felt like it was starting to kink but could feel on end hooked to fuel pump tube. Still not being able to see much or lower tank anymore I decide to cut vinyl tube. After doing so I was able to lower tank.
The tank looked solid with know obvious proplems. The lines coming out of tank looked rusty but still good. The high pressure vinyl tube I cut to lower tank had female ends on it and the high pressure tube off fuel pump had a male fitting also male fitting on end of fuel line to tank.
My question is can I cut the male fittings off and use high pressure rubber line to make connection.

take the bolts off on that side of the bed and loosen up the bolts on the other side and lift up the bed and get a good look.

My truck is a 95 4runner.

In that case look under the rear seat; there's an access hatch that lets you hit the tank from above.

I have that rubber line with the fittings on it. Its off my 88 4Runner, but it should work with yours. You can have it free if you pay shipping. I'll get a pic of it tomorrow so you can make sure it will work for you.

Well I found where the leak was. I had cut fittings off high pressure line and and end of fuel line going to tank. Then installed high pressure rubber tubing in between. And lower the tank some so I could look for leaks. The leak was right at the bend of the high pressure fuel line coming out of assembly. Looked like 4 little pen holes spraying a fine mist. Ordered new fuel pump assembly,rubber connector, and last section of fuel line that runs from fuel filter to fuel tank.Cost for parts was $286.00. Still concerned about having room to hook up small hose between assembly and end of fuel line.
