Fuel lines
Hey all,
I'm wondering what fuel lines are best to use for a custom setup.
my last setup I had the blue Parker house and it seems to dry rot / crack relatively quick. I have a sump to an A1000 ran in 5/8 and 1/2” to the heads.
I was maybe thinking of using steel braided hose or hard lines.
thanks in advance.

Riffraff has this for the engine fuel lines. But I’m wondering if you’re asking about total system...

sorry, should have been more specific.
I have a competition irate system.
i want to use a better quality fuel line than the blue hoses that come with the kit. All in the frame rail.

I built all my flex lines out of this stuff:

which hose did you use? Their website is a bit glitchy on phone.
how is the hose holding up?
thanks.

For fuel, I used -6 on the supply side and -4 on the return. Brake lines to calipers are -3. Brake line from the frame to the rear axle T is -4. They are holding up very well. Be warned though, the metal braid on the hose will make anything that touches them wear quickly. Be sure to put protective sleeve over any potential points of contact.
