#137660, "Fuel System Build"


          

So I just wanted to post this up to make sure I'm not missing anything that way I can make one order and not be waiting on overnight parts from Japan....anywho, this is what I'm thinking

I will be running -8 hard aluminum line for the feed and return, I will be using tube nuts and sleeves to convert the ends on the hardline to AN fittings and then from the ends of the hard line to maybe a foot of soft line to make things a little more manageable to connect and allow for engine movement and what not. I have a "Terry" fuel rail with -8an male fittings welded to the ends of the rail...and a Aeromotive 1:1 regulator that accepts up to -10an....

Parts list
3 90 fittings, 2 for the end of the rail and 1 for the turn down from the regulator feed.
3 sets of -8 tube nuts
3 sets of -8 tube sleeves
7 Straight -8 hose ends
4 -8 flare unions
Fuel filter with male -8 ends on it
and About 10ft of Russell Pro Classic 2 soft line

The only thing I'm not certain on is running either a bulk head fitting into the fuel pump assy or just welding/brazing some fittings to it...I've used bulkhead fittings before and they do ok but honestly are a bit of a pita, just thinking attaching a fitting directly to the assy might be easier and less prone to leaks. Please let me know what you think about this and if I will need more or less...thanks!

Looks good to me. It's obviously better planned than any of my fuel setups are.
