Yet another snag. The guy that makes the FI hoses I ordered with all the fancy fittings lives in TX and when I called him today he said he was real busy after the tornado that just went through (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

I of course told him to not worry about my stuff for the moment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I hope all you Texans are well.

Well, the leak test of the tank turned into a can of worms (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) The tank metal was so thin in the area I welded that it would vanish with any exposure to the weld metal. I cut some out, welded in thicker, leak tested it again, had a stroke of genius and finish welded upside down with water in the tank to keep the metal from vaporizing. It has now passed and is in pain with a fresh coat drying before install. I start work at the hospital at 7pm until 7pm tomorrow so no more progress this week.

Perhaps you all can help me, I am trying to find a way to make my own steel braided fuel line set with banjo fittings. This is becoming a PITA. The guy that I was to have do it, for a chunk of change, is otherwise occupied and I see no reason I can not do it myself.....if I can find the parts suppliers.

HELP!

Mike, what can Scotty and I do to make this happen next weekend?

I already know I don't have time, but I'm going to move some things in my week around and make myself available Saturday afternoon, Sunday and some of Monday.

I am looking into the option to come back from OH mid week to button things up. If that fails, then I will do the clinic in VA and maybe come back and work on it again to try and get it done by Hershey....other than actually coming over and helping me, or finding me the parts, I cant think of anything that can help.

So I do see this stuff in stock at Mcmaster for about $3.5-4/ft, but is specifically says not for fuel oil or gasoline (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) It has the same handling characteristics and PTFE material so I wonder why they say no gas. I amy consider using them anyway: PTFE, 3000psi with -65 to 400 deg.

Don't use anything that doesn't specifically say that it is for fuel.

It says that it is for toluene, mineral oil, etc. The PTFE is fuel proof so I do not know why they would not say use for fuel unless they dont want the liability of the tuners using it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

For reference 52515K21 is the part number at McMaster:
http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/118/261/=h0lzuc

Looking into other hoses they offer, there is one that has ends already made to it and is basically the same hose, but it has carbon black in the coat to dissipate the static that can be generated with fuel. This is likely the reason they dont fuel rate the above hose.

Could you use a -3 turbo oil feed line? Here's an example from ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/T3-T4-T70-TO4E-T60...=item3f15ec3797

They come in various lengths. search "turbo oil feed line".

That is the same stuff that McMaster is offering, just with the ends on. I need a few 5' lengths. I did the math and I basically spend the same if I order the hose and fittings and assemble myself for those hoses. Actually, I probably spend more as the banjo fittings dont come with the 8mm bolts.

I wish I had my lathe here so I could make the 12mm double banjo bolt. The ones that the guy I am trying to order from has look home made.

Looking bad for completion by end of next week. I will be calling the local hydraulic supply store tomorrow as well.

Man, that is tempting, but would probably be metric $$$. I will look into it.

Also, you do realize where the bus is parked and that it is not running, right? How would I get it off of the plateau, down the driveway, and onto a trailer???
