I am currently repairing the rust / replacing metal on the driver side longs and floor pan. While I have the car up in the air and the engine out I would like to replace the plastic fuel lines that go thru the tunnel, the car smells of gas and i dont want to risk a fire
Questions; I was thinking about using 6mm stainless tubing. Is the choice of tubing good? It seems a pretty straightforward jobb, is there anything I need to consider/watch out for before pulling out the existing plastic tubes. Thanks |

I just installed Tangerine Racing SS fuel lines. Chris supplied everything I needed. The trickiest part was re-installing the fuel tank without kinking the lines under the tank. As was recommended to me on this board, I made loops for both the supply and return lines under the tank and that worked. FYI Chris lists the line sizes on his website as 8mm for the return line and 9.5mm for the supply line.
