Well, got my tank out and I have one of the Tangerine Racing fuel lines in stainless (just one line as my car has carbs) and I can not seem to find the instructions or have just misplaced them. I bought the line from Chris about 2 years ago.I have done a search but can't seem to find any threads about others installing them.
Just wanted to ask how much work it is and how hard and if anybody has some tips to share or even add some pictures. I hope I can do this myself this weekend. Do I need to pull out the carpet in the center tunnel area? Thank you |

What the others said AND WD40 your grommets, especially the front one, and the lines will go through MUCH easier.

Is there something readily available to lubricate the grommets without using a petroleum product that will harm them? I see some rubber lubricant products online, but anything at the hardware store? |

In a pinch, one of the liquid dish washing detergents and a little water can make rubber very slippery. |
