Im thinking of running a full braided stainless line for my fuel line. What size would you guys go and have you messed with inline filters ? Does it make a difference where i mount it ?

 

It doesn't make a whole lot of difference where you mount the inline filter at, just find a spot it fits well and put it there.

Why are you doing this? 99% chance this is wasted $$.

 

i kinked the fuel line alittle. And the stock location of the fuel filter is a pain.So i figured instead of buying and bending new line or putting a unit in there, just replace it with this. I know its not going to gain anything from it. however it would make life easier for me when i want to change the filter plus its kinda cool i guess.

 

-6AN lines and a 40 micron filter should do you just fine. I had the same problem with the kinked line and that's the way I did mine. Easy to get to everything and clears up alot of space.

Stan @ fast turbo can get you the olive that converts your hardline to a -6AN fitting at the end. This saves you the trouble to flare the hardline.

Filters, fittings, & lines can also be purchased on summitracing.com

 

yea i saw one for -6AN on jegs. I think russel made it.

 

how did connect the braided line by the fuel tank ? I was thinking of using a few inches of the stock hardline and flaring it and then connecting it with a fitting. Is there anyway to eliminate that ?

That sucks. Go for it.

You're right about the filter location, it is a BITCH to get at.

The stock hardlines are -6AN so there is no need to run braided lines all the way to the tank unless you wanted to run bigger lines. If you don't need bigger lines, just cut the hardlines near the firewall, use the olive/converter and run braided lines from there.


I don't have bette rpics right now, but when I get a chance I'll snap a pic for you:


The inline filter is right underneath my throttle body. The 90 degree elbow is going to the fuel rail. Also, i routed my FPR where the Stock fuel filter use to be.

 

just curious on why you need an inline fuel filter whats wrong with the in tanker?? im just wondering if its absolutely necessary...

 

To filter out stuff that may have slipped through the filter sock in the tank.
If the stock fuel filter gets dirty, I am sure it's a good idea to run one to keep trash from getting to the rail/injectors.

 

so why not run two stock fuel filters...make a custom bracket and mount it somewhere on the fire wall where its comfortable for your fuel lines just my .02 cents

I'm not sure I follow, the OP asked about running braided lines instead of the factory hardlines because his was kinked. Instead of going through the trouble of running new hardlines, why not just run braided lines and an inline filter? It would be much more complicated and ugly to make the OEM filter work with braided lines.

Plus with the inline filters, you can take it apart, clean them, then re-use them.

 

show us more of the engine bay, that was such a tease



anyways, that fpr you have, is it just Two lines that go to it? The large one for gas and the small one for vacuum?

 

is there any problems associated with running a bigger line ? Im most like not doing it and dont need it just would like to know. My guess is pressure would decrease however there would be more fuel volume.

The FPR has 2 inputs for fuel feed, 1 for return, & one for the vacuum source. It is a 1:1 rising rate fuel pressure regulator.

Here's one for ya:

Stock fuel lines should be good for about 650whp +/-. So unless you are maxing that out, I don't see why you would need anything larger.
