Fuel Line Routing for the Late Model War Jeeps
|
1/15/2007 Well, before I started this job, I wanted another opinion... therefore, my father came down (owns a nice 43 GPW USMC jeep). He helped me figure out a couple challenges

1/15/2007 On late model Jeeps, the line goes from the pump back to the tank. Tanks are suppose to have in-tank filters, but I haven't found one. So, I will install and external line... out of sight of course. *UPDATE*, the line should past through the COWL and also have a clip on the fender to hold in place.

5/6/2007 This picture was posted on the G503 as the correct path for late model jeeps. The picture is upside down but you can see where the line goes from the clip on the fender, through the cowl, back to the tank.

1/15/2007 Before installing the line, I wanted to make sure it lined up. It also gave me an idea where I wanted to break the line and install the filter.
|
1/15/2007 Before I modified the line, I wanted to install the tank. I lined it up, and installed the sending unit (gauge). At this point, with the tank on tight, I will go underneath and break the line and install my own filter.
|
1/15/2007 With everything in place, I found the best place to put the in-line filter was under the tank. Its out of sight, and tucked high . After installing the clip to the right of the rubber hose, the line is secure.
|
1/15/2007 Here you see I added the clip to hold the line, and give me a secure fitting for the inline filter I added. I like the position, because it is tucked away out of sight.

1/15/2007 At this point the fuel line is in, and with a little bending to get it out of the way of the master cylinder, it looks good. One of the things we had to figure out, is the ground on the Sending Unit. Very little documentation, so we installed a wire from the unit to the side of the jeep where the clip is.
|
1/15/2007 Here you see, we wrapped it around the Sending Unit wiring, but connected it to the side panel for a good ground. We fired it up, and sure enough, gauge works.
