The flex line is about 10 inches long-then all metal to fuel pump. looked in section 6 and 8 in 48-53 shop manual--what am I missing--Thanks Bill | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | "Was there a pet-cock under the gas tank?" (1951 regular cab truck?) Here are cut-off parts for your year truck. These go into the outlet hole in the bottom of the tank. Wait to hear from others about those parts (I think my 1954 tanks are different, even though that listing says 49-54).

Found the FFL on classic parts site, the leak is in the middle of the flex fuel Line. Will get under later today and hopefully shut it off.Thank You Bill | | | | | Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 109 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2012 Posts: 109 | I have a factory tank that has the pet cock as well. There is a o ring that may be running down to look as if its a leaky line.
