Thread: Custom AN Fuel Line setup for PRJ Fuel Rails... [*]

^^^^^ Yup, do exactly that. But use teflon hose if you think you'll EVER go E85. THere are special hose ends needed for that hose but I can walk you through that if needed.

or Nitrile based:

Compatible with all synthetic lubricants, fuels, oils, coolants, and alcohols (including methanol), this hose was developed to meet strict racing specifications. It's available in -4, -6, -8, -10, -12 AN and -16 AN in lengths of 3, 6, 10, 15, and 20 feet. The hose is constructed from a seamless nitrile inner tube with a stainless steel inner braid and high-tensile stainless steel outer shell to resist high pressure, temperature, and abrasion for reliability at a price you can afford. NHRA accepted.

*Not for use with brake fluid

IIRC methanol is a little more harsh than e85

well i have all thats needed for my setup that im running, however i made one error and that was buying one 3/8 and one 5/16 fuel rail fitting. the 5/16 on the return side doesnt fit. i thought they were different sizes , i should have went with my gut when i first placed my order for two 3/8's fittings.... oh well, it does look clean though compared to the black plastic sh!t lines ( excuse my verbage but they are crap and the reason why our cars and others burn up, not the front valve cover gasket like GM recalled ) so tomorrow begins my venture into the project, i will be taking pictures


edit - the 5/16th fitting does fit, just take the clip off first and install on fuel rail and the attach the fitting

so the project is about complete, im waiting on one more fitting but everything is all routed and one side is done, the return line is almost done.

i chose to keep my setup fairly stock looking, utilizing all but one of those gray line connectors due to it being in the way of me feeding my lines upward. i cut off the plastic portions of the fuel lines only and went from there. this keeps it factory looking. i already tested the pressure line for leaking and it was perfect on that end.

i cant stress enough that when you add these fittings USE small amounts of oil to coat the threads on the aluminum, also do not use teflon tape. tighten down the fittings until they are tight dont overdue it, just until they feel snugged ( using wrenches and not your hands of course )

this isnt a hard mod to do, the lines themselves if you do it my way can be a bit tricky to maneuver so expect a lot of cussing, but in the end its very worth it for looks and safety issues concerning the factory lines. here are some pics of the procedure.









i'll upload more later when its completed, just waiting on one last fitting
