Default Fuel system guys....

Those of you who have done a full fuel system...(I am putting this on soon.....Aeromotive pump, braided lines, regulator, etc.) What did you do with the stock fuel lines? Take them offf completely? Leave them there?

Thanks, Jason

The stock lines are pretty small (don't remember, but I measured and they were too small for a real turbo install), the compression nuts he's talking about are for using hard lines. MUCH cheaper than the braided, though they don't look as cool.
You can get 25' of Stainless -8AN for $30 or so at Summit and then just use the compression nuts to fit to the -AN fittings on the fuel pump/filter/regulator.

I dont know if one of those compression fitting would be safe to install,theyre made to fit standard size lines like 3/8s,1/2, etc not the metric stuff that our cars use.

i removed all of my lines also, but i decided to save them in case i ever need them again, im sure honda charges an arm and a leg for them. i ordered all my fuel lines and fittings from summitracing.com, they had my stuff to me 2-3 days after i ordered them. youre looking at roughly $500-600+ for feed lines, return lines, fittings, adj fpr, fuel filter, grommets, etc. when i ran my new lines i used hose clamps hold the new ones in place underneath my car.

Summit part #'s - SUM-220238 for -6AN SS, 20'
SUM-G2512 for aluminum -8AN, 25'

I agree that the compression nuts aren't for the stock lines, only for -AN sized lines.

They must have raised there prices. When I did my full fuel system I compared overall price on the needed parts. I did save a considerable amount over what Summit priced everything out to be. If you look, some of summits prices are higher on different fittings. For those particular fittings obviously summit is cheaper.
