Hi Folks,

we took out the engine ( 1994 idi 7.3) and while it was out we discovered that the lines ( feed and return) from the fuel tank selector to the lift pump were dodgy. Can anyone recommend an outfit that sells replacement lines?
hdpe, steel, aluminum ?

thanks,
Rick

 

Napa and the like should carry any kind of hard line you might be looking for. However, i dont know if they stock anything over 3'

 

Id buy it in a spool most automotive places should sell in a spool.

I'm going to re do mine and use nicopp lines. Never rusts, easy to bend, and easy to flare. Also makes great brake lines.

 

If you dont mind, report back on pricing please. I need to redo mine as well and thinking about increasing size while im at it.

 

i found this site:
Federal Hill Trading Company

i used cunifer to replace brake lines and it worked really well, I plan to buy the metal portion of the fuel lines from these folks

 

Why not just go to rubber? Minimum number of joints, one from each tank to selector valve, and one from the valve to the lift pump. Easy to run, never rusts, and readily available.

 

That's what I did a couple months ago.. so far, so good.

 

US Plastic has some of the poly hose, it's under tubing. Somebody was talking about it awhile back. I don't remember which ones had which advantages. Home | Plastic Tanks | Plastic Buckets | Plastic Bottles | Labware | Plastic Tubing | PVC Pipe | U.S. Plastic Corp.
