Installing Tangerine Racing stainless fuel lines, Is this a major job? Options

[nsr-jamie]

Well, got my tank out and I have one of the Tangerine Racing fuel lines in stainless (just one line as my car has carbs) and I can not seem to find the instructions or have just misplaced them. I bought the line from Chris about 2 years ago.I have done a search but can't seem to find any threads about others installing them.

Just wanted to ask how much work it is and how hard and if anybody has some tips to share or even add some pictures. I hope I can do this myself this weekend. Do I need to pull out the carpet in the center tunnel area?

Thank you

You have to remove the fuel tank. I already had the engine out, so it was pretty easy. Here are a few photos:

When I removed the gear shift mechanism, I found the whole tunnel full of rust.


So, I applied Rust Destroyer the whole length of the tunnel with a bottle brush after I removed the old lines. I added a couple of holes to assist in this process.



With the help of my Master Mechanic pushing the lines, we got them feed through. It was quite easy with a little help.



New lines under fuel tank.



New lines in engine compartment.



This part was pretty clear. I only had to call Chris about the placement of the short line that came with the kit. The photo on his website shows that placement.

Hope this helps.
