So what's the problem with the stock lines? Are they broken/leaky? |

Deal. Russell says you can get it at any Aotozone. You want me to pick it or or do you want to do it. And don't worry guys, the only contact to the lines will be grommets and insulated clamps. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

PO cut them in all the wrong places. Oh yeah, it's also one of those "Since I'm in there" things. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

real tough ( sacastic ) job just did my supply line ( front pumper ) took all of an hour, including pulling and replacing the tank. i used 2 pieces of steel brake line and a coupling where it comes in to the engine bay. i bent it by hand, and will now have a 1 foot piece of high pressure line going to the engine

just did mine with -6 fittings and pushlock/ or twist lock (source??) hose and fittings. Easy to do, fairly tough, easier than ss braided lines. Not the cheapest way but easy to work on later.

I have the Russell 3/8" aluminum tubing thru the tunnel, mated to AN-6 braided on both ends of the tunnel. The tubing is flexible, not brittle and thus far no issues. (IIRC it is explicitly spec'd for fuel applications.) My car has a welded cage and fire system so may not be an apples and oranges comparison. Oftentimes what "makes sense" for a street car vs a race/autox/offroad car are completely different things.

When I removed my engine a couple of weeks ago, I bent the stock plastic fuel line about 90 degrees and it snapped in half. I will definitely be replacing mine. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) |
