Has anyone ran into any issues using pre bent/formed fuel line with sub frame connectors on your car? Would like to know before I place an order, thanks.
^^X2 - be prepared to be creative either way
I switched to a 3/8 line for EFI. You can use a compression union to put it back together...
or in my case I used an AN -6 union and flared the line. You could also double flare it and use a union.
Nooooo!!! Compression fitting with EFI fuel pressure = bad bad bad. Not that that's what you were suggesting, just makin' sure no one tries that at home.
I have the Hotchkis frame connectors...and after they were on, I switched to a 3/8 line for EFI. You'll need to cut it in half about right near where the front seat is to get it in.

Go to your local NAPA and look on the shelf for their EFI repair kits for things like fuel filters. They will have a compression fitting. You won't even break 80 PSI on any of these systems. I have used one of those before on an older GM car and it never had a single issue...and we're talking years and years later.
If it were brake lines i'd agree with you....but those need to hold at least 30x the pressure.
