Re: Fuel line kink w/pics...Problem?> (digital sol)
you should be fine, it's a pretty good kink but i don't think it will realy obstruct your flow that much. just drive it around the block see if you feel any difference

ive been driving it that way for about a month now, i just noticed it about a month ago, i dont drive the car very much'
only issue im having lately is the car studders, feels like mis-fire at partial throttle when under 50% throttle, runs strong in WOT but in city driving on low throttle if i hold the same throttle position and its a low throttle <50% it studders/stammers'
idle pressure- 48
wot- 60
im thinking my addition to adding a new header may be causing it to run a tad lean at partial throttle conditions, but spark plugs are a nice greyish color', it just started doing this lately and the only thing ive changed besides maintenance parts is the header, im upgrading injectors and a few other things before re-tuning and hoping a fresh tune will solve the issue

what motor do you have, either way i just checked the manual and for a b-series at idle should be between 30-37. d-series is 28-36. so i guess your pressure is a bit high, most likely from the hose, seeing that it sqeezing through would cause higher pressure, makes sense i guess

R motor with a holley 255 fuel pump and aem fpr, stock injectors...throwing on some 310's before next tune, fuel pressure is right where it should be at for my motor/set-up

the line looks like a 1 piece line that extends from that point all the way to under the car somewhere', i may just have a shop cut the end of it where its kinked and re-flare it if theres enough line to do it with, just for safe keeping

ok well that makes sense then. well that the line that comes from the tank. cutting and re-flaring it would make the most sense. good luck with it.
