I was using NAPA fuel injection hose to replace some lines to the fuel injectors. Ran out. NAPA was out also. Went to another shop for more hose. They sold me some "multi use" hose, said it was good to 300 psi, could be used for fuel, hydrolic (SP?), or other liquids, and BONUS, it was less than 1/2 the cost of the "real" FI hose from NAPA. Have had no issues with it so far.
So, can I use this hose from the tank to the motor? Why or why not? It'd be flexable, to snake thru the tunnel if you wanted to go that way... or thru the long... (my car has headers and no heat thru the long), or route it along side the long like oil cooler lines... or inside the car next to the tunnel and put a metal cover over it? Waddya all think? |

I read a great tip here...
Run a small electrical wire....16 or 18 guage up through the old plastic line from front to back BEFORE you pull it out... Then pull out the plastic line, but leave the wire behind... Then, when you put the new line in, put it over the electric line and it will guide the new line up through the tunnel. I vote for running it in the tunnel... Rich |
