      Fuel lines

      What's everyone running as far as fuel lines go for a fuel injection setup?

      I got a 1972 camaro and serious about switching from carb to efi and trying to get everything locked down. As what I need for the swap.

      I know I'm going with a tanks inc tank and pump. Setup

      Also going with fitech efi.

      I know I have to switch the lines out, did you'll just take the line from tank to where it comes up in front and get a one piece solid line made or what was done?

      Thank you

      I ran a second line front to rear for the pressure side and used the existing steel fuel line as the return. I used Aeroquip AQP hose and have detected no fuel smell in my garage. Many people use a Teflon lined hose.

      I recently swapped out a Tanks inc tank for a Rick's because of fuel slosh under 1/2 tank when cornering hard. I have no use for it, would let it go for cheap, so if you are interested pm me.



      As far as lines I really prefer the teflon lined stuff from Brown & Miller. It is the only stuff I will use for fuel, and easy to work with, tight bend radius too.

      I'm surprised to hear that... I've had my Tanks fuel tank down to 2 gallons and if I didn't know it was only 2 gallons via the gauge, I wouldn't be able to tell if it was 2 gallons or completely full (even under braking and acceleration).

      I'm running braided teflon lines from fuel rail to tank. Started with braided rubber, but fuel vapors were permeating out and stinking up the garage. Teflon lines for the last 6-7 years and they run great.

      Just swapped out my baffled Fuel Inj rock valley tank (external pump) for the DSE (mini tub) one - with an internal pump. Replaced the feed and return lines with pre made and crimped telfon lined hoses from Russell / Edelbrock. Really nice - did not have to worry about making the hoses - make the install much quicker. External pump tank is for sale.
