What fuel lines can i use for replacing all of the hoses on the fuel bowl? will auto zone have some?

not around here autozone dose not carry it. eather the dealer or napa has it.

autozone fuel hose is fine. You buy it by the foot and cut it to length.

SAE 30r9 rated is the hose to look for.

Is the the blue hose that comes on the trucks stock? I just bought fuel hose at Napa. (3/8", 5/16", and 1/4"--used all 3 too) It may not be the super crazy stuff from the factory, but it was inespensive, and not that difficult to change out.

I'm not sure what the factory hose was. Napa hose is made by Gates. Good luck trying to find a part number. I've read they have it at the other automotive chain stores. Never seen it around where I live.

thanks for the info, ill see what i can find at napa, the dealer wants around 45 bucks for the the 3 or 4 hoses that attach to the fuel bowl alone, gonna see what i can get away with. and this was on top of a 500 dollar fuel bolw that cracked

Ouch!!! If you're looking for a fuel bowl, search around and try and find a local dealer that sells for Alliant Power. Alliant sells replacement, OEM fuel bowls for the 7.3L's.

As for the fuel hose, if you get 2 ft of 3/8", 1 ft of 5/16", and 1 ft of 1/4", the total cost should be under $20. (iirc, it cost me $14 for all 3)

if my fuel bowl ever breaks, im doing a fuel bowl delete, and Regulated return lol

And I got Regular fuel injection fuel line. The fuel in those lines arent under SUPER amounts of pressure.

I agree. If my fuel bowl kicks the bucket, then I'd definitely do a fuel bowl delete.
