Now that I have been hearing SS fuel line is no longer NHRA approved are all the outlaw guys changing over to nylon braided or pushlock?

Before I go and buy more fuel line for the race car I just wanted to find out if we are going to conform our rules for the races to work with NHRAs new rule.

Sorry if this has been covered, but I didnt see it.

 

i like to know too.

 

what??? where did i miss this memo?

 

That can't be right.

 

How could that be possible?

 

For real. I am glad mine isn't stainless. That would be expensive!

 

i remember reading something about that......looked into it a little further and i dont think it applied in our applications at all.

 

where is this news coming from?

 

Thats it I am going to use drinking straws burger king has the extra big straws for the shakes now!

 

in the 2009 rule book i have it says

all non oem fuel lines must be metallic, steel braided or nhra accepted woven or woven pushlock
fuel lines (exept steel braided lines)in the flywheel bellhousing area must be enclosed in a 16 inch lenght ofsteel tubing, 1/8 inch minimum wall thickness, securely mounted as a protection agaisnt fuel line rupture, fuel lines may not be routed in the driveshaft tunnel,

 

Ok good because several people who were from other shops told me the other day that they read braided SS line was outlawed because they have had too many instances where it caused fires and explosions from grounding out and other issues.

I figured the people who posted here would know, I had asked a few other people and without hesitation they were like yeah, they outlawed it because of blah blah blah, Im happy its not a legitimate change I just bought alot of fuel line!

 

You could have just picked up the phone but i guess you dont like to ask the people who know. Rather make a post here on h-t.
