#31861, "What kind of fuel line to use for return line?"




          

I don't really want to run a hard line but not sure if just regular rubber/nylon hose would be safe. SS would be nice but $$ emoji

why not hard line? it's cheap..

Any hose that will hold petroleum products should work. Make sure it can handle the correct pressures and heat of the engine, but most will.

Any local auto parts store should carry different sizes of "fuel line hose". It's a high pressure hose good for up to 250psi or something like that.

I wouldn't use fuel hose (as in rubber) I did and it kinked real easy and made me have like 80psi idle pressure. I switched to aluminum hard line and it works well. It bends real easy and for enough to do the whole thing was only like $25. It'd cost around $120 for SS line. Not including the AN fittings.

I'd really recommend the hard aluminum fuel line for under the car. There's less chance of it being cut by something sharp, should accidently run over something on the road. If you still want to go with a hose fuel line, then definitely buy the fuel hose made for fuel injection cars. It usually costs more than the regular fuel hose, but they'll last longer, and they won't crack and burst, as easily. If you could spend a little more, then go with high pressure SS braided fuel hose.

Thanks, I was just afraid of what Fly1 mentioned and that is why I brought it up. I guess I'll find a friend with a bender to help.

hmm well I used that fuel line from kragens, its cheap at kragens like 10 cents an inch or something. But I have a 95 so I got less plumbing than the 96+ guys.

Yeah and you don't have to run it under the car or anything. 96+ you have to watch out for exhaust, bends, and sharp edges. It sucks.

hey bro the only thing that this depends on is what you are going to do with the car. If you are going to race the car at a real event IE import challenges or some thing like nira or inhra. If you try to race at one of these and the tech are being anal they will kick you off the track if you have more than 12 inches of non-braided line any where on your fuel set up. later mike
