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)

It says POLYETHYLENE tubing is okay with gas.....BUT, you also have to figure that you are introducing pressure to the calculation as well now.....I totally agree with Paul, not all tubing is equal, the HD stuff might not have as strict tolerances and who knows if the walls could be too thin at certain points, hell, a garden hose might work as well, but I sure as he// won't be using it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (high performance fuel line, 10X the fuel capacity as the stock tubing!!!!!) For the CIS, at what point is the gas pressurized? Stock /4 was in the 30psi range...CIS is closer to 70psi or higher I thought. I'd use whatever line they used on the 928's. I've had stainless tubing on a few of my past 914/4's. |
