So I tore out the hard line and it looks like I may have gotten lucky. When ERA passes the fuel line through the frame above the rear suspension, they don't just drill a hole in the frame. They weld a tube inside the frame so it's smooth. It's barely large enough for a piece of -8 AN braided teflon hose to pass through, which is good. So I plan on running a new braided flex tube from the filter at the tank all the way to the pump at the engine, with no intermediate fittings. I'll clamp it down using the padded Aeroquip clamps and add a shrink wrap tubing where it passes through the frame, for extra safety.
