G503 WWII 1945 Willys MB Jeep Fuel Line Routing (Late)
This article shows the proper 1945 Willys MB fuel line routing
|
1. The fuel line routing for later model WWII jeeps changed in the late 1945 models. The change in design took the fuel strainer off the firewall, and placed a fuel filter into the fuel tank. Thus, the later model WWII Jeep fuel line will go from the fuel pump straight back to the fuel tank following the frame. |

2. Your fuel line will follow the frame and go inside the tub cowl and will be held on by a clip on the cowl as shown here. |

3. Next, as you send your fuel line down the path of the frame, be sure that your line hugs the tub and go over the clutch/brake lever. Here you see the clip that is attached to the tub channel. |

4. Optional Mod: Many Hobbyists will place a fuel filter on their fuel lines, usually around the fuel pump or carburetor for everyone to see. Here you see a nice, small, clear, fuel filter that is tucked away out of sight. Napa sells this FIL 3011 filter for about $4. To replace this filter while fuel is in the tank... take a 5/16in bolt, and when you pull the fuel line out, push the bolt into the line and tighten the clamp around the bolt. |
