Finally found why Duster was dying and then would start a few minutes later then die again! Soft gas hose between sending unit and hard gas line was kinked and preventing fuel flow. It really is a tight turn and I'm sure unless I can find OEM molded gas line it will kink again. Anyone know of a source for OEM line? Thanks

If not molded any idea how I can make sharp bend in this 6 inch fuel line without it wanting to kink in the middle?

I just put a gas tank in my Duster and the straight rubber hose worked fine. Make sure you are using the thick nylon reinforced fuel hose and not the plain rubber vapor hose. The thick fuel hose is very hard to kink.
