Default ~~ how much ft of hose for fuel feed/return lines ~~

Going for more power

Wanting to run strait -8an hose from fuel hanger/cover to fuel rail & back.
Going to run it under the car.

HOW much feet of hose should I buy?..... about 10ft each way or more like 15ft each direction?
















thanks
Charlie

I think I bought 10ft of -8AN, but that was only to half way up the firewall to a Bosch 044. I'd have to confirm it by looking at my receipts. I didn't run a new return. I'm thinking 12ft, plus you need to have a filter and hose ends so it'll reduce the amount of hose you use.

Here's an idea of how I ran mine:

On the cars that I've plumbed it takes around 10 ft. of hose for the feed. So to play it safe buy 13 ft.

For the return 10 ft. will be more then enough. I'm assuming you have your fpr mounted on the firewall, and just need to go from the bottom of the fpr back to the tank.
