If you are talking of just the fabric lines,no big deal. There is a piece about 6-8" under the tank, a piece about 16" inches from the tunnel to engine and a small piece to fuel pump and from the fuel pump to carb. Some recommend that a filter is put in the line from the tunnel to engine and get it out of engine area if it is there.

what if they are not the fabric lines? it ha braided under the tank and at the pump, i'm not sure about the tunnel though. how do i get to the peice that's in the there????
Braided/fabric the same.
The metal line(thru the tunnel/chassis) comes out of the tunnel underneath by trans. on the left side that is accessed by jacking the car up.

thanks. now i just drained my tank because the first hose was leaking really bad so i need to relace it. any tips on the BEST fuel line to use for my baja??
Try and find the German braided/fabric hose.Any good foreign parts house should have. Not the cheaper Brazilian junk. If you can't find German, NAPA or Carquest will work.Larger size tho. You need to make sure to put hose clamps on the hose.

Location of the fuel filter is debatable on both sides. Read and make a decision.
