Have OE flexible lines removed. Engine still in car, gas tank out.
Does it matter which fuel line goes where? They all have slightly different bends so I would guess that it matters at least a little bit. I mean I know that the long ones go through the tunnel and the short ones into the engine compartment (duh), but not sure otherwise. My kit from Tangerine did not have instructions, so looking for any help. |

QUOTE Nice job: reminds me, I bought the SS lines and forgot to install them. Did you do the install with the motor in place ? Any problems "pushing" the new lines up through the tunnel ? And, did you use a helper ? I had engine in, gas tank out, drivers seat out, steering wheel removed, center console out, gas pedal removed and both tunnel cover plates removed. Right rear wheal removed. Lines pushed in very easily, but I had a helper after getting the tunnel lines bound up by the brake line once or twice. Helper really helped. Engine compartment lines more difficult for me than tunnel lines, just because of lack of space to work. |
