Default I am leaking fuel......what the correct and best fuel lines size ?

I was watching my car at idle today, and I saw right before my eyes my fuel lines popped out and fuel burst everywhere...

I used 1/4" for the lines from the pump to the fuel rail....how badly will the fuel pressure drop if I upgrade all my lines to 3/8" or mayeb 1/2" ?

and any other suggestion on fuel lines ? I saw somebody's setup with a stainless fuel lines, but how do I fit it in the banjo on the fuel filter and rail ?

thanks

stan

u can use 2 earls fitting... this one to be exact

and put a ss line between it (the fuel filter and the fuel rail) or u can just go ahead and get an external and ss lines all around... thats me though... this isnt what u may need... so i would just do my first suggestion

Is it worth is to upgrade all of your fuel lines with braided stainless steel lines? Of maybe a larger inside diamater

Holy crap your right! That was 3 years ago! I saw Stan with that post, and I was thinking why is he asking this question?

I call him with all my fuel line questions. Feel much better know...
