need some advice, running 3/8" fuel line, how to run, what to use

I run a 3/8" stainless line on my Duster. I just bought it from Inline Tube, it follows the factory routing and was pretty easy to install. I have 1.5"x3" subframe connectors and they don't really interfere much with the original routing.

With 5/16" tubing you can make bends pretty easy with just a cheap bender, but with a lot of the 3/8" lines (especially stainless) making accurate bends gets more difficult unless you spend money on a nice bender. Pick your poison I guess, I just bought the stainless 3/8" line.


yeah the 38" stainless doesn't bend nice. I have several sets of benders. Yesterday I went and grabbed a 3/8" spring and a big bender with several dies. If I slide the spring on and use the bender, it seems to keep the integrity of the tubing wall. I tested it with a scrap of the line that I had from our first blunder.

That being said, $100 from summit or the other vendors, even with the exchange rate, seems like a better deal than screwing up another line.
