I have a feeling that trying to remove any body bolts will lead to more significant problems so im not really even considering that.

My old fuel tank and fuel line have been removed. I have the car jacked up a couple of feet on jack stands and I already received the new 1 piece fuel line. I guess I might as well give it a try. Not much to lose except skin on my knuckles and maybe increased blood pressure. If it just wont fit, ill have to consider buying some steel line and bending and flaring it myself.

After the fuel lines are replaced the brake lines are next. Hopefully they will be a little easier? :-)

If you can't work it in, in one piece, I would cut it near the back radius that goes over the frame and install as 2 and join the ends with a hose. This is only suction, no pressure, so not a concern for leaks. Starting over with a piece of tubing and bending, bubbling/flaring the ends is going to add to the cost, time and frustration. Unless you can pre-arrange with Inline to return the 1 piece, at your shipping expense, it will be an expensive wall hanging. Work with what you have.
