Pre Bent Fuel Line and Sub Frame Connectors

scuba0331 · Feb 19, 2010

I was planinng on using pre-bent but due to the sub frame connectors it appears these line will not work. I would have to cut the lines to them through the sub frame and up to the engine.

What is a good solution?

I was thinking of using SS Flex line and fittings. How do I connect AN fittings to the stock sending unit?

I am not sure how to proceed?!

I can't help you with your question because I haven't installed my connectors or fuel lines yet, but here's a bump to the top.

Mabby you can get a bender and reroute the line? Thats what I was going to do.

I guess you'd almost have to run it to the outside of the connector, or drill a hole and run it through the connector at some point.

Been there. The frame connectors create a definite barrier to installing the one piece line. I cut mine, installed the pieces, and rejoined with a flared union.

Thanks!

That looks like stainless too?

No, just regular steel.

Technically the stainless will outlast the regular. But when you consider the original lasted 30+ years...

Stainless is great but a little more difficult to work with and flare.
