Fuel Line Question

Ok here is the deal. I need to hook up this fuel coller into the fuel line but am unsure what I will need to make it happen. I have a few ideas but not sure what I need. Basically the attached picture is what I need and in that top section I have hook that to the fuel lines. would I just be better off cutting the hard fuel line underneith the car right before it enters the bottom of the engine bay and running braided lines up to the fuel bar and then out of the bar to the rail? Or should I go up top and work trying to splice this into the rubber fuel line

All I know is I have to use -6AN in and out of the fuel bar.

what for? you planning on addeding a power adder to the car?

i would tie in as close as you can to the stock fuel lines.

this bar is part of thet Cro kit I;m installing. Hopfully with in the next two years I’ll have everything done for the supercharger.

Basically I’m asking what would I need to insert this fuel bar into the fuel line. I have never played with fittings for the fuel system and such and have no Idea where to start.

When I say cutting in from undernieth the car I;m saying from under the car where the hard lines are do somthing like this and run braided the rest of the way to make it easier to hook up. :dunno:

where did that pic come from?

i see no need to run-6 lines all the way back thats a waste of money. untill you actually have the supercharger.

is yours a returnless system or is it a return?

That picture came from a J-body site but it was used for a nirtous system.

I believe its a return system.

see if you can contact that person and get the part numbers for those fittings

reverse flair to -an…summit carries them

Kurt is correct. He got all that stuff from summit. Now would that work? or is that a bad Idea to do that for the supply line to the rail? Also from what I think pewter told me the fuel lines are not under pressure. :dunno:

the fuel lines are under pressure it’s just whether you have the regulator up front or in the rear…either way your fuel system is under pressure from that point up he may have been talking about the return. all you do is go from inverted flare (with a flare tool) to an fittings we would have done this on the turbo celica project but having someone make a fuel rail worked much better. it doesn’t matter whether you do that to supply the rail or not it’s not hurting nor making anything better at your level

does ur co2 kit need a fuel sorce?

it looks like all it does is run the co2 around the fuel line to cool it…if that’s the case it wouldnt need a fuel source

correct again.

although i agreee with spangler about it being overkill i would honestly just spend the extra 20 or 30 bux and do it from the tank and have it done, -6an isn’t much bigger than factory line when it comes to inside diameter and you’ll have one step out of the way.

here are a couple pics of how we modified the celicas tank assembly i’d have more but the camera died

now the celica was a returnless setup but what we did was use the existing feed and made it the return and added our own braided feed line to a cartech fmu. (something you’d have to do once you go FI)

now do I need to go all the way to the tank or can I just do like the above picture since you are saying its not the much different?

i’m saying that because of the application of your car (shows) and the fact you’re eventually doing a supercharger i would go all the way to the tank, it’s not much more to order another 5ft of line and make it work, if u can post pics of your fuel pump sending unit assembly i can give u an idea about how to do it (specially if it’s a return setup)

eh…lol that will have to wait till maybe tomarrow :smiley:

and thanks for being civil :stick:

I’ll try to do it tomarrow.

doesn’t have to be yours if u got a jbody one (pic) layirn around…we kinda tore into jims not knowing what to expect and it worked really good i’ll draw you a quick pic to give u an idea how we set everyything up so u know what youd be getting into

eh screw that there are too many pieces…

cool, I will search for it on the J-body page to see what I can come up with.

If its going to require dropping the tank I will probably have to get pewter on his off time and have him help me if he can and is willing again.

lol its cool…
