Fuel line for LS Swap in a 67 Camaro

[Senek67RS]

I ordered a fuel line from MCB and it is the rubber line set. I have heard about seepage issues and want to know if I should return and go a different direction, or just use what they sent. They said that is the only fuel line that they sell, so, if I need to go a different direction, I will also need another source. Hoping to get some advice here...

Firewheel classics stock meta fuel line, -6an earl fuel hose and fittings from hardline to tank and hardline to engine

Yeah dont use rubber. Vapors are able to permeate it.

You can go with hard steel line or what did was to use braided teflon line (which I've had for the last 10 years or so).

I use a combination of nicopp hardline and Holley Vaporguard hose and AN fittings. Tube compression to AN adaptors on the ends of the hardline.

Compression fittings are a good option or you can get a 37 degree flaring tool. I too like using NiCopp lines and PTFE lined hose. Here is a video I made a while ago about flaring the NiCopp tube and mating it with flexible AN hose.

Thanks for the insight everyone.

thanks!

I have had good luck with http://fragolaperformancesystems.com

I bought the Rigid flaring tool in Andrews video. Great tool and worth the money.

You should look at these guys for the tubing. http://fedhillusa.com

I use Goodridge 910 hose for flex needs and nicopp hard line for static needs. Black (carbon conductive) PTFE core is superior to the white PTFE since it acts as a ground and prevents any static charge build-up. If the outer hose isn't metallic, the black PTFE core is needed.

Hey John, I was actually looking at the Goodrich 910 hose as one of my options, looks like they are easy to assemble.

I love the stuff! It's expensive, but easy to work with, super high quality, and looks great.

Do you use the non forged Aluminum Hose Ends? The forged ones almost double in price.

[parsonsj]

I use the non-forged ends. They flow a bit better too.

perfect, thanks!

Hey John,

I'm installing a LSA in a 69 Camaro and your system sounds like one to emulate. Do you have a parts list for this line set up or pics?

Just bought a vaporworx pwm kit and I'm buying a tank and pump soon, bit your line set up makes sense to me.

[parsonsj]

I don't have a parts list, but I used a Rick's tank (custom-ordered and made of aluminum instead of SS), a vaporworx pwm kit, NiCopp hard line (3/8), using AN (37 degree) flares. I used Goodridge 910 hose and hose ends, and Russell adaptera to the GM push-loc fittings. I pulled the Vaporworx pressure sensor up under the package and did all my tank wiring there. I connected the sensor via 3/16 NiCopp hard line to the main fuel line via a "gauge" adapter with a 1/8" NPT fitting.

I used a GM LSA pump.

BTW -- I bought two pumps, and only used one. I still have that other pump (never used and still in GM's original box). I had sold it, but haven't gotten funds yet, so it might be available if you're interested.
