I put in SS fuel lines tonight and I've got a few questions.
The engine side of the SS lines looks fine. No issues here. On the tank side, both fuel lines seem to come out too forward towards the front of the car. The one on the left of the pic is pointing directly into the bulkhead and is touching the bulkhead. Question: Should I try to bend the fuel lines to make some clearance for hoses? I don't want to kink the lines. The shorter SS fuel lines go through the tin and I don't have the original rubber gaskets. Question: Can these be purchased new or taken off of parts cars or other type of homemade grommet? I'm assuming the bendable tabs that are shown holding the fuel lines are for the fuel lines, correct? I don't have a FI car to look at. |

The rubber grommets you need are the same as the brake line grommets and are available new. Here is a link that references the same application for the engine shelf fuel lines and the master cylinder to reservoir lines: http://www.autoatlanta.org/detail.lasso?Pa...al_number=10036 |

Exactly what I'm looking for. Are those the Tangerine Racing lines? Looks like your car is fuel injected, right? How much work was it to install those lines? I need em too, but have never pulled my gas tank before and don't have the confidence to do it....just curious how much work it was. Cheers Yep, Tangerine Racing lines. I'm going from carbs back to FI so many of the grommets and other FI related items have been removed. It wasn't hard to put them in although the engine and gas tank are out of the car. The hardest part was getting the lines started as the bend at the tank requires the lines to be started at an angle going into the tunnel. |
