I see a few companies are selling new stainless steel fuel lines, new fuel lines on our 50 years old cars is generally not a bad idea, but how about if they appear to be in good condition? The feed line on our car is about 10mm OD with a 1mm wall. While we are in there should they be replaced for good measure.
Thanks |

As usual, @iankarr has a nice video on the installation. It really is an easy task even if done solo. BTW, I got my SS lines from member @Rotary914

Simple We have a few other older sporting cars in the stable, it has been on my list for years to change out all the fuel and brake lines .... I just did this on my 1970. Had the tank re-done, new SS lines from Tangerine and all new rubber lines everywhere including engine compartment. It was time consuming but not bad. I did the tank to firewall lines by myself with a lift. It took a bit to get them through there but not terrible. You do have to take quite a bit of stuff apart. I'm a pro now at removing my seat, pedal board, steering wheel, etc. :-) My biggest issue was dealing with the plumbing from tank to pump (re-located to front by PO) to avoid kinking the hose. I put a new two port pump in. The PO had someone re-locate the 3 port and it was literally zip tied to the steering rack. Tangerine sells a proper two port pump mount. For me having seen my rubber injector hoses leak and knowing how old the car is, it was a no brainer. Cheap insurance in my opinion. |
