Just re-did some fuel lines on my TPI.

Used Fragola SS PTFE hose and fittings. Just make sure you get teh right fittings for the hose you are buying.

Hose size should be -6AN

Use SAE J30r9 hose for fuel injection. available at any good parts store. for the dual tanks, you can use an 87 selector setup that will switch the pumps and gauge senders. I would recommend using inline pumps for ease of maintenance.
