I don't presently have pics, but I DO have a recently acquired M818 (actually 1969 XM818 ) on which, I believe, the fuel lines would be ALL ORIGNAL. I could take any pics you'd like if you'll give me specifics for what views/cameral angles you need.

Just some of the lines on the tanks up to the fuel switch, nothing crazy. Overhead pic of the lines on the tanks would be great. Thank you.

I'll be glad to take a few shots in tomorrow's daylight for you.... unless someone else beats me to it.

Weather and family commitments were completely uncooperative with the hoped for photo shoot. Tomorrow evening will be my next real chance. If I can, I will.

Any chance of having some pics?

I apologize that those pics took a back seat to other stuff.
As soon as we return to our home LZ I will indeed be taking those pics for you and posting them up.
We are currently at my mother-in-law's in New Mexico, but expect to return home Friday - weather permitting.

I can try to take some of my 818 tomorrow, got no pressing plans for the daytime.
Before I take them, is there anything in particular or just a better visual than what the schematics offer?
Also, just in case. Mine has 2 55-gallons tanks, is yours the same, since you said the tanks were messed with.

H A P P Y . N E W . Y E A R !!!
My aplogies for taking such great license with your "no rush" comment above.
We just returned from our New Mexico trip last evening (after dark) and finally have gotten some pics for you.
As I mentioned, our XM818 is a new acquisition. I had not realized how the structure for the rear mounted winch modified the mounting of the diamond plates over the fuel tanks, but they are no longer easily removable. Hence, the pics below are "through the cracks" and therefore don't really do the fuel line routing much justice.
Right tank support mod.

Okay, not sure if my pics are going to be any better than what USAFSS-ColdWarrior has already posted.
All my sheet metal and tool boxes are mounted, so I can't get a good clean overhead pic for you, sorry, not going to take all that stuff off at this time.
I think I got all these in the right order (?)
Left side tank
Right side tank
Also had trouble uploading the pics, from what I found may be the reason, my pic file size (in pixels) was too big.
Reduced the size of the pic and was able to upload multiple at a time instead of 1 at a time.
