Fuel Line Question

[parchisi]

How do you guys who run larger, braided, fuel lines hook them up to the fuel pump?

The way I'm running it now, I just cut the stock fuel lines at the braided part, then just used some adapters to hook the larger fuel lines up to the stock braided portion of the fuel line.

I'm afraid when I have to upgrade to a more powerful fuel pump, that the stock portion which runs from the fuel pickup to where it joins the 8an section is going to be a bottle neck. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I think awhile back I saw and New pick-up assembly for the bigger lines, do a google search for one. cant remember where i saw it though.

There's one on 50resto, but it doesnt' look like it can use in-take pumps...

 

[tjh566]

when you upgrade to your more powerful pump get an in-line?

 

[parchisi]

Well, I guess that's one way to do it. Seems like a good idea.

yeah, I have an in-tank and an in-line now, the in-line was a breeze to install.

 

[parchisi]

Yeah, I was wondering what the wiring for the in-line would be like. Glad to hear its not too difficult.

well the vortech one just taps into a fuse under the dash with the niffty little thing that you insert into the back of the fuse box on a certian fuse.then just run the wire into the trunk and mount the realy that comes with it and wire everything up.
