2007 Ranger 519 VX Fuel Line Replacement

[Kenny C]

I need to replace fuel lines on my 2007 519 VX and want to know should I go all the way from the tanks and into the motor? I haven't done this before and want to do it correctly. Thanks for any help and advice you can offer.

do them all if doing any -- up to the engine and inside the cowl also--will need new clamps also likely and a fuel bulb

I have to vent a little bit. I am changing all fuel lines and filters and deleting my lift pumps on an '06 520 VX.
What a gigantic pain in the butt. Had I to do it all over again I would not change the fuel fill lines and the
vent lines. That required me to remove the tanks which was very difficult. As mentioned earlier you must take
out the starboard tank first then the port tank. Getting the hose clamps on the fuel filler connections is very
very tough. Bending one and a half inch a2 fuel hose is also very very tough. I also just discovered a water
fuel separator near the transom which can only be accessed by the access hole in front of the engine but that
was also extremely difficult since I think the fuel water separator is original. I had to remove it and using
a 4 ft cheater bar to take off the filter! I will update this post as I progress but wow what a gigantic PITA

Some of that you kin preassemble before reinstalling? Like hose on the fuel filler before putting the tanks aback in, install tanks, then attach hoses to tank.

This is fantastic advice after the fact I know.
