Use a quick disconnect tool to remove the fuel line from the fuel pump. Place a drip pan under the fuel tank and remove the fuel hose from the fuel pump. here
Step 1: Check for leakage in the engine compartment. Using a flashlight and a combustible gas detector, check for any leaking fuel in the engine compartment. more
Replacing or updating fuel injection lines from the fuel tank to the fuel injection rail can be frustrating and time consuming. Having all of the necessary tools and materials prior to starting the work will allow you to get the job done more efficiently.
Step 2: Check for any dashboard warning lights. Monitor the dash for the fuel level and for any engine light to appear.
Step 1: Park your vehicle. Make sure that the transmission is in park mode (for automatics) or in 1st gear (for manuals). Park your vehicle on a flat, hard surface.
I used compression fittings with olives as mentioned further up the thread. One of the fittings started to losen itself off but because it's a total custom job I didn't hide the pipes under the car or anything like that and was able to see and smell the slow leak as soon as it started. Tightened it up again and has been ok since then.
its currently running twin carbs, but it might be moving over the throttle bodies in the not too distant future, so the hardlines really need to be suitable for for high pressure.
Adam, I do plan on doing the dimanche again, with a faster car and some more experiance i might be able to keep up with some people! its a cheap local one, perfect for shaking down those winter mods (and in your case, the entire car!).
Are you planning on doing it? if your not a member of FDMC i can forward the regs onto you when they come out. more
perfect, cheers guys! i have used the copper on the kitten, but wasnt sure about it with high pressure systems. more
I guess it might last ages,but when it does start curse word a trail down the motorway you'll wish you used the correct stuff. ;D here
I'd say don't use heating pipe. here
What are recommended options for fuel line?
Option 1: stock 3/8 pre-bent and adapting 6AN on either end (Classic tube or inline tubing)
Option 2: Late model OEM nylon http://www.techafx.com/content/6-fla. hose-20-length
Option 3: Holley kit with vapor guard hose: https://www.holley.com/products/plum. or_guard_hose/
Option 4: custom bend some stainless steel [links]
550hp going into a '70 Chevelle, planning on using a repro tank with either Aeromotive or Vaporworx 5th Gen pump. I'm planning on using the Holley Sniper EFI though haven't seen a ton of feedback on it yet. here
Holley Sniper a reasonable option for this application?
It seems #3 would the easiest, $200 including a pump I wouldn't need but also looking for a durable long-term solution. here

PRO 1 Fuel is well designed to convey both diesel fuel and gasoline E85 ethanol. The tube is temperature resistant. It supports a temperature ranging from -40°F to +212°F. This PRO 1 tubing is not ideal for fuel injection. It has a maximum working pressure of 50 PSI. here
Fuel lines play an important role in automotive, and you should be careful when choosing a tube to replace the original fuel line. The guide above has taken you through the best fuel line materials and the features to consider when buying. Everything you need to know about the fuel line should be stamped on it. It is important to confirm the type of fuel tuning the manufacturer recommends from your car owner’s manual before the purchase. Other things to look at are PSI, ID and OD, flexibility, and length of the hose, among other things. It is important to know exactly how you will use the fuel line since some are not ideal for ethanol.
Allstar ALL48328 fuel line is only used for specific vehicles. The tube is double annealed and 304 grade making it easy for bending and flaring. It is covered with a zinc coat, thus preventing it from rusting and corrosion. The line bends quite easily when using a quality bender. The best part is that this fuel line gives you clean bends without kinking.
This NBR fuel line is designed for conveying, bio-diesel, E-85, gasoline, and diesel fuels for busses, trucks, and cars among others. The tubing is ethanol tolerance, cold-resistant, and oil resistant. The fuel line, however, is not compliant with CFR -40 or ABYC H-24 regulations and thus not ideal for boat applications. more
Fuel lines are made of different materials which have both pros and cons. Most fuel lines are made of reinforced rubber. This material is preferred for fuel lines since they prevent kinking and splitting. Ensure that you buy a fuel line material that can contain both fuel vapor and liquid fuel. Other materials of fuel lines are stainless steel, plastic, steel coated with zinc, and nylon among others. It is important to go through different reviews and learn how a specific fuel line worked for other previous users before the purchase. [links]
