So on my 97 2dr 4x4 Blazer when I was looking at the top of the fuel tank trying to figure out my p0440 evap code I noticed 2 of the 3 rubber hoses coming off of the fuel pump were kinked now these lines are not very flexible so if you try to turn them they just kink, Im pretty sure they need to be replaced, I tried disconnecting them so I could turn the 90 elbow around on the fuel pump but could only disconnect it from the other line attaching to the metal fuel line running to the engine bay. I couldnt get my finger under neath the 2 clips. They are the 2 clip quick disconnects. I dont understand why chevy made them this way they are way to long so they have to be wrapped in a circle to be connected and have a 90 elbow on the 2 outside ones. Anyone know where I can get the quick disconnect clips and some strong fuel lines that are a little more flexible Or just some chevy fuel lines with the correct clips that are about 12-15" in length?. I dont know how to tell the correct ones and it looks like the middle one may be different I cant tell for sure and dont want to drop my tank unless absolutely neccesary. Also anyone know how much the tank weighs when its empty? thanks.

 

I got the replacement plastic clips at NAPA. One is 3/8", the other is 5/16"
They each came in a plastic container of 5 each. The label said Chrysler somethingorother on it, but they're the correct units.
I also found Balkamp "fuel repair lines for GM "there. Same plastic brittle hose as OEM stuff. You have to sink it into hot water in order to soften it enough to push on to the metal hose ends. Feed line is larger than the return line. Fuel tank may be about 15-20 pounds empty.

I'm thinking most major parts stores should carry these items.
I lucked out with a NAPA close to home (2 blocks away), as the counter people there are usually more knowledgable.

 

Thanks ALOT man! I might try to find someone local parting out a 4-dr 98+ I think there fuel lines are a little shorter so they wouldnt have to be bent/kinked to fit
