    74 cj6 with a 258

    Does anyone have pictures of how the fuel line and return lines are routed from the tank to the pump?

    Do the lines mount on the top frame rail near the inside edge?

    How far do they extend at the front and back of the frame?

    I asked an extremely similar question regarding a DJ5B with a 232, so I think it would be very close, So I'm watching this for responses.

    The jeeps in the barn but I recall both hard lines on mine run from near the motor Mount to the forward passenger corner of the tank on the top of the frame rail. Then rubber lines to the fuel pump and tank pickup. I’ll look this weekend when I get some barn time

    Thank you very much for looking.

    I don't want to run the lines and then have to modify them later when the body is mounted.

    You can see on my jeep build page the line runs. Several pics of the fuel/vent lines with the body off the frame during restoration. The only difference I did on the way they are mounted from factory is bringing the fuel inside the rear shock mount. Didn't like the idea of the fuel line hanging out on the outside of the mount. Yes they both run down the frame on top to best of my research. I put the vent down the inside of the top rail, and the fuel on the outside of the top rail. Which I'm 90% sure is correct. If you don't see pics that you need let me know. I didn't post all the tear down pics, but I took a crap load so I could put things back together. Build link in Sig line. TSM has a pic too showing the vent and how it hooks into the tip over valve things in fender. I put all that back as well so you can probably see in pics that routing as well.
