This article shows the proper 1945 Ford GPW fuel line routing

|
1. The fuel line routing for later model WWII jeeps changed in the late 1945 models. The change in design took the fuel strainer off the firewall, and placed a fuel filter into the fuel tank. Thus, the later model WWII Jeep fuel line will go from the fuel pump straight back to the fuel tank following the frame. |

2. Your fuel line will follow the frame and go inside the tub cowl and will be held on by a clip on the cowl as shown here. |
|
3. Next, as you send your fuel line down the path of the frame, be sure that your line hugs the tub and go over the clutch/brake lever. Here you see the clip that is attached to the tub channel. |

4. Optional Mod: Many Hobbyists will place a fuel filter on their fuel lines, usually around the fuel pump or carburetor for everyone to see. Here you see a nice, small, clear, fuel filter that is tucked away out of sight. |
