Fuel line??

Philip Saran · 01-19-2009, 06:23 PM

What material (braided line?) is recommened to use from the
fuel pump (in trunk) to the fuel regulator on the inside front fender?

The rest of the system is #8 line and fittings.

Why not run a -12 then you will have as large a line as you may ever have a need for---can't hurt better to big than too small right??? Too big definately will not hurt it while too small and you will always have problems---Comp 387

What about G forces trying to make the fuel flow backwards if the line is too big? I started using braided line, but switched to the pushlok stuff, I think its easier to use. I use -8 an to feed 650hp or so.

put 2 pumps on it with a bypass to return any unnecessary fuel to the tank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hardly believe that G forces of any significant amount come in to play here on a Stocker or S stocker----Comp 387

not as pretty, but aluminum line is a lot cheaper. run to punp, then nice braided.

Aeroquip Socketless hose.

A lot cheaper than braided, approved, reusable ends, & easy to work with.

I use it on my entire fuel system & radiator hoses on my bracket car.

Good Luck!!
