Fuel Lines

[toofun]

OK so running a Ricks Tank on a carburated application and have the intank pump.. So originally I had a fuel cell in the car when I bought it. With all the talk about going with hard line, not needing to go with hard line,matching hardlines to braided lines, ethenol eating rubber hoses etc.. I have decided to go with braided TEFLON coated hose to and from the regulator for both the feed line and the return line. I say this because with all the work I did on the suspension and having minitubbed the rear and added ridetech 4 link to it as well it just is alot easier to fish the lines through using the braided steel lines. So my question is, 1. if I use TEFLON coated braided lines will I have a problem still and 2. The line that is currently in the car is braided steel line but has almost an inner and outer looking hose, like a hose within a hose look to it with the outside being plastic like. Is this TEFLON coated? If so am I safe using the existing line(which is very new) with another line for a return? Also what size line should I be running to and from the engine? I have a 383 making around 550 hp and the lines coming off the tank I believe are -8AN(RICKS TANK)


Thanks in advance!

I've always heard that braided steel, black nylon, teflon and even hard line will work with gasoline. All of them can handle the psi thrown at them from any street fuel pump. You are correct about the -8 sending and return lines, you'll be fine. Just try and avoid any 90 degree bends as well. Now you said you might be running ethenol, that's a different story. Call a Summit tech guy for that.
