Here's some pictures of my installation of aluminum and braided fuel lines and a Holley Commander 950 TBI system on my V8.
First pic shows the 3/8" aluminum fuel lines in the area under the gas tank. Attached image(s)

>Is the tubing relatively easy to run thru the tunnel?
It was very easy to run through the tunnel. I put some 3/8" rubber grommets in the holes and slid the lines in from the rear. I left it coiled up and uncoiled it as I slid it through the tunnel. The hard part was bending it to the right shape under the gas tank and then in the engine compartment. It is very easy to collapse the tubing when bending it. I didn't use a tubing bender but that would have helped a little. >Does it need to be clamped down with adel clamps or something, or does it pretty much stay put on its own? I haven't clamped it in the tunnel. I was going to cut some pieces of 3/8" rubber tubing lenghtwise and slide it over the tubes to keep them from rattling. However, they some pretty firm in the tunnel and haven't made any noise. Of course the noise level in my car is not quite at Mercedes level so I may just not be hearing it. |
