I am working on my 62 F-85 installing a gas tank, and have run into a problem. The tank has two lines. One is the feeder for the gas (3/8 hose line), and the other is 1/4 inch hose line off of the gas sending unit. What is the 1/4 one for? I bought the tank from a gentlemen who had taken it out of a two door convertible (same year). My car is a 4 door sedan. Any answers to what the 1/4 hose is for, and where I am supposed to connect it to. I have to make this work somehow, because it was very difficult to find a tank for this year.
