Fuel line run question
mderoy340, your lines look so similar to my lines. I am attaching some pics of mine and I cant find any right at the headers but mine are pretty much the same as yours. I have insulated them with the heat wrap and also built a 1/8" shield between them and the header collector. Also where my fuel lines go up into the engine compartment they catch more heat from the side of the headers. As you can see I also have a 1/2" return line as well. I would like to see where your lines come up and into the engine compartment and i see your line stays inside the alternator like the factory run where mine comes over the alternator.
sr4440, my regulator is on the inner fender but I am going to move it to the side of the intake and use it as my fuel block as well.
My plans when adding this new intake and carbs will be to route my fuel lines differently. Here is what I found in the 2021 NHRA rule book on fuel lines:
1:5 FUEL SYSTEMS Location: All fuel tanks, lines, pumps, valves, etc. must be outside of the driver’s compartment and within the confines of the frame and/or steel body. Cool cans, fuel-distribution blocks, etc. must be located at least 6 inches forward of the flywheel/ bellhousing area on rear-wheel-drive (RWD) vehicles, and on opposite side of flywheel/housing area on front-wheel-drive (FWD) vehicles. Fuel pressure gauge isolators, with steel braided line, may be mounted on firewall.
I was always under the impression that fuel lines needed to stay inside the frame rail but reading this makes me believe that as long as they stay inside the body I could move them to the outside of the frame rails. What are your thoughts when reading this?
Appreciate everyones input with this. Thanks for your thoughts.
