I used solid core silver solder, (only a small percentage of silver). Same stuff that I use for sweating copper plumbing.
Andreas: That King Sealy is good tubing, but the red fluid turns clear after awhile. Curt Schulze has the good stuff.

Why didn't you just block the forth pipe instead of removing ?
this way you would be able to reopen the pipe if needed.
@ Mark : why didn't you unsolder the pipe instead of cutting off ? With what kind of solder did you solder the new pipe on ?
The more i know, the more i realize that i don't know enough.

I was just reviewing your photos and noticed a 4th copper line coming out of your gas tank unit. I see the line for the gauge, the fuel supply, and the vent, but what does that 4th line connect to?

Actually, that looks like nothing that some copper tubing, a brake-line bending tool (to prevent kinks), a jig, and some soldering couldn't solve. You might try a local radiator shop, since the soldering skills are right up their alley.

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

I agree that posting pictures is a PITA
