The frame is painted (finally) and im ready to start running my fuel lines. I want to use all stainless hard lines running on the frame but im not sure where to start? DO I just buy this stuff in a roll at my local auto store by the foot or what? Whats a good price for it?
What diameter do I need for the ls1?
What do I do about bending and connecting it?
thanks!!
I ran steel braided lines. I went to a hose shop and brought a piece of line from the TA I got the motor from. Then the guys asked me how much I needed and took a look at the fuel rails. When I came back the next day they had the hoses with the fittings and the end that hooks up to the fuel rail and even adapted a fuel filter. I paid like $60 bucks.
Hard lines just seem more complicated. IMO. Good luck!
If you're going to pay the premium price for stainless tubing you need to buy or rent a high-end tubing bender or you will most likely kink the tubing while bending it. I used the factory tubing in mine and just added a few feet of 3/8" fuel injection hose, teflon lined for high pressure. Nica got a pretty good deal on his setup. Most tractor hydraulic line builders could put you together something or my local NAPA store builds lines to order. The hard lines definitely look nice. It's your decision how you go, show or function. The braided hose sure sounds a lot easier.
