Angry Fuel Tank Module

I just had to drop the fuel tank to replace a broken brake line. There are two plastic or rubber fuel lines that run into the tank. I ripped the smaller one of the two. My shop manual said to pull the sending unit and float module out of the tank and rinse out the prefilter on the bottom of the module. I ripped that too. Are the plastic fuel lines and the module prefilter (not the module itself) available parts from Dodge? Somebody should slap me for being impatient.

If you ripped the smaller of the 2 hoses, thats most likely your return line to the tank. Vulcanperformance gives you a section of 5/16" hose with their Drawstraw kits to connect the return line, so I'm guessing you could just go to your local autoparts store, get some 5/16 fuel line (make sure its diesel compatibal) and a couple hose clamps and fix it. As for the screen, I don't know what to tell you on that one. Some guys eliminate the prefilter (screen) all together when installing a Drawstraw, so you might be ok without it. Oh, and where in PA are you from? I'm close to the Lebanon area.

Make sure you fill out your sig, but you can for sure just use hose to fix the cracked plastic.

On my 12V I about fainted when I got the price of replacement lines, 177 bucks each for a 40 dollar part....... So I made my own.
