So now that Im beginning to run the fuel system, Ive come to a point where Im in unfamiliar territory. The fuel system will, obviously, be a complete scratch build. I bought a new stock replacement wagon sending unit since the old one was trashed anyway, external high pressure pump, and a large filter. My plan was to use the large filter ahead of the pump as sort of a surge tank to help eliminate air bubbles, then aluminum hard line up to the engine compartment, and braided hose between the hard line and stock H.O. fuel rails. Now Im looking at the aluminum tubing and it says 25psi max. Ive also heard of aluminum tubing rubbing and work hardening against the clips that hold it in place and eventually cracking. That wouldnt be such an enormous deal on a carb'd application, but with perhaps as high as 50 pounds of fuel pressure on tap, that could get ugly quick. On the other hand I can run braided steel or push lock hose, but with fittings and everything thats around $300+. The other option is to run stainless tubing, but that'd be a little harder to work with and wouldnt offer any cost savings at $80 per 20' coil. Im thinking the push lock hose may get the nod for ease of installation, but what have you guys done that are running EFI?
My other question is what fitting(s) do I need to connect my fuel rail to an AN fitting? Are these right?
