Chevy Bellair fuel lineFuel line restoration

The fuel line is about 12-13 feet long. Note the loops to avoid the frame bolts. The ends remove with 9/16 and ½ wrenches. The tube is about 0.316 OD, probably ¼ ID. The fuel line was dirty on the inside too, so I poured the carburetor cleaner through the line, and rinsed it with clean gas.
