Hello all,
This is my first post on this site. I need some help. Both metal lines going between the fuel tank and the evap canister above the spare tire both have just snapped in half like a twig. Can I replace those lines with rubber fuel hose? And what it that long, large line that runs with the rear brake line from front to back? Rubber hose replacement for that too? I have searched on here and have not found any threads that address this. Thanks in advance.
 






The line next to the brake line is the fuel line. I had to replace mine due to rust. The EVAP lines can be replaced with neoprene fuel hose with no ill results.

Thanks for the response and tip. Dropped the tank and this happened:

Don't want to buy a fuel tank due to a nipple being rusted/broken off.
