recommended fuel line

My '96 has been unusable for a month now with the cold weather here. It is obviously sucking air somewhere. I thought it was in the tank, but with fuel full to the filler neck, it just took a dump in the driveway. I'm going to replace everything before the LP and the return (behind the filter) to the tank. I will be buying a Vulcan draw straw and enough rubber line to get from the tank to the LP and the return.

My question is: What is the key to buying the fuel line? I see that some suggest Trident 365, but I don't care to spend $4.50/ft. Is there a certain rating I'm looking for?

Also, any suggestions for getting 34 gallons out of the tank? I'm pretty much alone on these repairs and don't like my chances of dropping a full tank without something going wrong.

Thanks

I had thought about doing that too. I need to figure out the best way to do it solo and outdoors. Damn thing is too long to fit in the garage unless I leave the door open, and my wife doesn't care for the smell of diesel. I'm sure some of it will hit the floor.

How did you lift your box?

Good point. I'm gonna order the parts after my kid's xmas program, and then I'll hope for a 25 degree day to get to work. I've seen some post about tilting the bed on the driver's side. I hope I can get enough clearance.
