Need BTDT info on replacing fuel line from tank to pressureregulator

[Kneale Brownson]

That's the flexible high pressure supply line?  

I recently replaced the tank on my 200q20v.  From that experience,  I'd say
all you'd need to do is disconnect the banjo bolt fitting at the tank and
use the existing line to pull the new one to wherever you want to make the
connection.  There will be some duct tape holding the line to the tank in
one or two places, but it'll pull loose with just a little tugging.  Check
on the side of the tank just where the line now comes away from the tank.
There's a loop of plastic retainer that holds the supply and return lines
together there before they separate and go to the top of the tank.  It's
the type of plastic tie wrap you can open and reclose.  It slides onto a
metal button welded to the tank, so you can slide it off in one direction
or another and then open it to release the hoses.
