fittings

[dean]

g'day fellas. i am looking to upgrade my fuel lines to braided and put in a in bonnet surge/ swirl tank. im just curious best size for lines and best way to set them up also the fittings i will need.

Example a. all fittings for the standard fuel set up into the rails.

examble b. any other ideas for setting up fuel lines, that is affective

I would have thought -6 would be fine with N/A EFI engine ???

I have 3/8 lines from my bosch 044 pump to my engine bay, then a -6AN speedflow Y piece fitting going to each fuel rail (with all -6AN speedflow lines and fittings again).. then exits back into one external Sard fuel reg.

The bends all depend on what you have in the engine bay and what you have to work around. Feel free to come round and check out my fuel setup. I can give you all the part number if you like that I have used (they are all listed on the Motorsport Connection website http://www.mscn.com.au/Scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=18 ) I sourced mine from AutoCraft in Hobart becuase that was a little cheaper.

PS. all the speedflow fitting and lines rrreeeaaallly add up


Below is a pic of my engine with mostly speedflow fittings. Now all speedflow fittings

Looking good CHe.

I bought all my fittings and hose from Summit racing USA, heaps cheaper than anywhere in Australia and delivered to my door.

As above -6 (3/8) hose it what you need.
