Eldorado 1980 fuel hoses
I have a 1980 cadillac eldorado with 5.7 motor. There are two fuel pumps on the car, one in the tank and another just in front of the left rear wheel. Does anyone know where to get the fuel hoses which attach to the pump located in front of the left rear wheel.
Thanks in advance

Fuel lines
Are you sure the second fuel pump is not the fuel filter??When you say you want hoses, are they rubber or the metal lines?? If they are rubber then you can buy fuel hose and new clamps to replace old ones.The metal lines can be ordered pre-bent or you can custom bend your own and then use a flaring tool for the ends.Not sure on a source for pre-bent lines but check with Rock Auto or places like that.Make sure all of your connection are nice and tight. A fuel fire would not be pretty.

Hello,
Yes there is both a fuel filter and a secondary fuel pump. There is a formed rubber hose that has some sharp turns in it between the fuel pump and the metal fuel line. Not sure how to make regular fuel line turn very sharp without getting a kink, have any good suggestions? Thanks

Would it be possible to make an extra elbow or whatever to end up with a loop instead of a sharp bend. You could also put a spring around the hose of the same diameter to prevent the crimping. Do you have the big block in your ride??
Not sure why the extra fuel pump was necessary,does it look to be factory install?? On my 81 I put a turbo pump in place of the OEM in the tank.That solved a problem I had with vapour lock in hot weather.
