Anyone ever use polyethelene tubing from the building supply store? Is this what the factory fuel lines are made of? I want to finish the work on the tunnel and this is one of the things I need to take care of. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Stainless solid lines would be a very good way to go. Truck brake hard-lines are a good cheap source.
I wouldn't use braided-SS in the center tunnel. You have to keep checking in there to make sure they aren't starting to abrade anything. (Hey, notice how the middle of "abrade" is "Brad"? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) Note that, in a 914 with a front-mounted fuel pump, one of the center tunnel lines is under full system pressure. (29-40 PSI, depending on the car and setup.) --DD |
