Need a longer fuel line! HELP! (Pic included)
The car
-'95 DX Civic
-GSR Swap
-Skunk2 IM
-AEM CAI
The problem is that the fuel line from the fuel filter>fuel rail is too short. I mean it still hooks up and works fine...but it makes taking the CAI on/off a biotch. I wish the fuel line was just 2-3" longer.
Is there a stock fuel line that's longer than the Civic one that will fit? Can I go to some kind of shop and just tell em what I need and have em crimp me a new one...even if it means taking fittings off my old one?
Here's a pic if it helps!

Very clean swap. Im running basically the same setup in my 96 civic and what I did is bend the metal part of the fuel line a bit so it had more slack.

well i don't really need to get the fuel line cuz the one i have now works...its just that the CAI is pushing down on it and it's REALLY tight...i have to muscle the CAI in there. someone PM'd me said theyre gonna take a pic with teg/civic fuel lines side by side....still waiting

Re: Need a longer fuel line! HELP! (philosofy1)
no that's actually the stock gsr throttle cable setup. the type-r one looks a lot cleaner. i will end up getting it eventually, but i'm gonna be spending a few benjamins for Neptune and a tune by Superdave so...it's gonna have to come a lil later.

Re: Need a longer fuel line! HELP! (2DoorBandit)
mmm nah. the stock gsr setup i have works....but doesn't look as clean as the type r. it's been a year since this car was last running so i could care less what it looks like as long as it works.
