Hi Folks - I have the entire fuel system out of 9140431482 back to the Webers for update, cleaning, etc. (Webers already reinstalled after thorough cleaning.) The gas tank fuel outlet pipe has no hose bead.
Is this normal? Seems odd there wouldn’t be one. Thanks, Bob |

Considering this further. I’m installing a Tangerine Racing SS 3/8” fuel line through the tunnel. My Airtex E8016S fuel pump is located at the rear.
So I’m wondering if a bead on the tank fuel supply pipe serves any real purpose. The Tangerine fuel line on the other side of this connection has a bead, there’s no significant fuel pressure, and I’ll use Permatex’s fuel resistant non-hardening sealant on the connection. A clamp, a generous hose overlap, and the limited tube movement on either side of the connection will protect against the hose coming off. (Hope this all makes sense.) Your thoughts are welcome |
