Should take about 2 hrs WITH problems.

The fuel lines on the sender nipples will be hell to get off. Cut them off using the minimal amount of waste hose. Pull the slack to re-install the remaining hose on the nipple when done. IF you should cut too much, thats where you install the double barb fitting and add as much fuel line as needed. Just be certain its fuel inj hose.
If done properly you can corner with a tablespoon of fuel and not loose power.

Have fun !
I was going to make something like this but I thought I was nuts, I am doing this mod first thing tomorrow thanks.
