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 bends in the SS tubes just aft of the fire wall look the same as on the Tangerine lines I just installed and they will not interfere with anything in the engine bay. You might want to verify the correct location of the two short lines. Either you or I have them installed incorrectly. I mounted my short ones with the 90 bend under the shelf so the straight portions protrudes up through the shelf about 2-3 inches.
Maybe someone from Tangerine could clarify the question of mounting for the short tubes. |
