Default Stainless Russell fuel line kit

I have seen some DIY's on how to make the stainless fuel lines yourself, but I'm looking into buying it already assembled. Looking to put it on my 98 Civic EX with a B18B1 swap. Anyone have any feedback?

Are you talking filter to rail or the whole system?

Looks like a hose to go from the filter to the rail. Doesn't the hard line run from the tank to the input on the filter? For $60, you could probably get the two banjo fittings, ends and hose.

just so you know braided line doesn't last forever , i have seen some hot rods that set for a couple of years and the lines leaked like crazy . make sure you get teflon line (from hot rod mag )One workaround is to inspect and replace rubber hoses in a timely manner, just like aircraft mechanics have always done. Savvy racers have known this for years, but on the street, the usual approach is to only replace on failure. That's not too big a deal with a generic parts store hose, but it's aggravating when it's a trick hose with expensive fittings. Still, if you are going to continue using CPE- or nitrile-based hoses, proactive maintenance needs to become as routine as an oil or fan belt change. Hose makers we talked to were reluctant to recommend a specific replacement interval, but empirical field experience suggests this may have to be done every 12 to 18 months. The ideal solution would be to just say no to traditional rubber-core hose-assuming there are better hoses available for substitution

i've had that Russell setup on my car since it debuted in 2003 or so. No problems with leaks in mine and i do check it fairly regularly. Its a nice kit i just wish you had a choice of colors though

The description says will fit EX, DX, HX. Would it fit with my B18B1 swap? Since you don't have to swap fuel lines when going b series?

Just go with the one from Jegs, But if you shop around for the parts you might be able to piece it together alot cheaper than that.. that should fit your B18B1 Swap just fine
