While Welding on my cage today I had a small fire and crapped the Fuel lines that run From under the car to the Rails. What other options are there for running fuel lines if any? Ud kinda like to go with a braided line. I have a ****load of 4an line laying around but would that be big enough to support 500RWHP? Just lookin for options, Thanks

they sell those lines as a kit they aren't very expensive.

You could get hard tube adapters for a 5/16" tubing and 3/8" tubing and adapt the braded line.

4 an is too small......

You want to at least match the stock fuel line, which is 3/8" on the supply side, and 5/16" on the return. Use -6AN hose/fittings.

I just replaced those with the stock ones on my car. I think it was $35 for all new plastic lines.

Any one ever used standard rubber fuel lines on our high pressure fuel systems, i wanted to try but had friends say no. Any one done this and how did it work

Don't try it on the feed side. Rubber hose and hose clamps aren't reliable at the 45-60 PS1 that late model fuel injected cars run. Now on the return to tank lines there sholdn't be much pressure at all.
