I need a FI fuel line larger than 3/8
(note : my use of the letters "FL" below ,means" a std rubber fuel injection 180 psi .3/8" fuel hose or line )
I have a 76 Seville that has an electric fuel pump(factory). This fuel pump has 3 separate hoses to get er all hooked up and running. 2 hoses are 9 " in length 1 hose is 15" length All 3 of the replaced FL are 3/8" . When I replace the FL with 3 new 3/8 FL the two shorter FL fit fine. The longer FL wouldnt go on no matter what,including pre boiling,spray siliconing,light greasing. I am now trying hand screwing in a threaded bold to stretch the FL even slightly. I dont expect much because of the rubbers tendency to return to its original shape is very strong. The old 3/8 FL was stretcthed enough,but it had been on the car for several years . I dont plan on letting my new ones stay" bolted "that long so theyll fit. I have asked several auto parts places and they dont have FL larger than 3/8. Ive spent alot of google time and found nothing. Has anyone run into this issue before and if so how was the hose expanded or where was a larger than 3/8 FL found? My choices for larger sizes are 7/16 or 1/2" FL. I would hope that would work IF they can be found. Any info,ideas? |
Does anyone know if there are 7/16 or 1/2 inch FI fuel lines ?
Even a 3/8 at a lower pressure should be more flexible. |
