    IMG_0228.JPG IMG_0229.JPG IMG_0229.JPG Not sure if this is the right forum but wondering if someone here can give me direction, maybe point me to a service manual or schematic for the fuel lines. Long story short. Ordered an aftermarket fuel tank for my 2006 379. Came with the wrong manifold. I will find diagrams if that will help but here is photos of what I'm looking at. Can I make this work or do I need to start over? I am hoping to make it work so I don't put this off another week

    Thanks for any advise or help.

    I don't see any problem with the tamk you bought. Pull the fuel gauge and fittings out of the old tank and you should be able to see what you need to do.

    Thanks that is what I am working on now. The old tank has two of the fittings welded in. The new tank is all "drop" in or bolt in it appears. It also came with a cross over line connection at the bottom, which my truck doesn't use. I am assuming I could just cap that off.

    Yes. Just plug it. Use a good sealant on the plug threads to help prevent electrolysis
