Braided Fuel lines Options

[brannanjohn]

Ok,

I want / need to replace fuel lines, so I thought I would go ahead and upgrade to AN fittings and braided lines. The car is gutted and in the process of getting a cage put in her so i have room to do what ever. (building AS/ITE Car) I was thinking about running the line through the fire wall and parallel to the tranny hump on the passenger side adn then cut an access hole above the axle to go straight down to the fuel tank.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

What size lines should i run?

Do I have to run a return line?

how do I modify the intake area to allow an AN fitting?

thanks,

PS For all you gun lovers with berettas and Ar's. I still have numerious mags from my ole army days. High cap beretta and mil spec 5.56 /.223 30 rounders. Let me know if any of you are interested.

I have done EXACTLY as you have said...

I have a -6 feed and return line run from rails to bulkhead fittings in the front firewall then along the tranny tunnel to the rear firewall...two more bulkhead fittings....then to the tank....I used compression fittings to adapt the fuel line to AN.....I would do it with welded on fittings given the chance to do it again/fix it this year hopefully...

Here, you'll need to get in contact with some of these suppliers. I recommend Umpco Mfg., also. They have real good aerospace qualtiy insulated clamps that support hose like fuel and hydraulic lines. You can get their stuff through any local aerospace distributor.
