Default brake and fuel lines

Where can I buy prebent gas and fuel lines? I'm also replacing the fuel pump and tank. 1996 Chevy Blazer LT 4 door 4 wheel drive. 4.3 engine. VIN 1GNDT13W7T2239320.
I purchased fuel lines from lines to go. It doesn't come with the fuel line from the fuel filter to the engine. Does anybody the GM or AC DELCO parts number. Can the line be purchased from anyone.

How do I tell if it's a early or late model 1996. The ABs brake lines come out of the top not side. I was also told to check if it has a metal or plastic fuel gauge sending unit. I don't know why this would make a difference. The numbers in the glove compartment are legible but I found haven't out the codes yet.
i just ordered fuel lines for my 94 from www.linestogo.com very reasonable prices (inline with rock auto)

Thank you. I called them and they confused me. I will probably buy what they have and take it from there. It is possible to buy nylon lines but I don't know anybody who used them. AutoZone sells the pump and tank assembly cheaper than anyone. It has 169,000 highway miles on it. It won't hurt to put money in it. Thank you for your time.

AMEN!! my '94 has under 100k (I think about 89k) but the return fuel line has rusted through. .and considering the condition the brake line was in for the rear axle, I figured it was best to just throw new lines at it.. and new fuel pump "just 'cuz" and then i figured I better order a new sender.. just on the odd chance these old crappy fuel lines don't want to seperate...and then of course a new fuel filter.. lol where do you stop? :>

Default All brake and fuel lines replaced.

Bought fuel and gas lines from inline tube. Most were included. The circular lines to the ABS were not included. The supply and return fuel lines from the engine weren't included. I got fuel lines from the junkyard but you would have to pull the engine to install them. I purchased flexible fuel lines that were enclosed in stainless mesh. The 3/8 came from Mr gasket and the 5/16 came from Spectre. They saved the day. Also replaced the tank and filter assembly.$209.99 from AutoZone.

As a tech i use nylon all the time for fuel line replacement....since i started using it i will never go back to steel lines...they dont rust or leak. One time repair and done. As for brake lines i build my own using the copper nickel line. Very easy to work with and lasts well.

When I did the fuel lines on my K5, I used steel braided hoses for the connection to the engine. They were way easier to work with than rigid lines.
