Reply to "Fuel lines"

Yes recently I was involved in helping install a fuel pine to the bottom of the tank ( I;m a plumber by trade ) they were trying to use SS braided line and fittings.

1st thing observed was you need a lot of fittings.

2nd thing is because its all short radius the 1/2 ID SS fuel line hose kinks.

3rd there was not much room to mount the pump down low enough to be in the correct location to pump. ( pumps are not made to suck only push).

My advise is to buy some SS 1/2 tubing and a bender with a few SWADGELOCK fitting and make some nice tight radius's conencted to the bottom of the tank. Then a pice of SS Hose to the pump on the motor.

Use a nice Mechanical Pump in the motor suitable for the HP you desire. Its safer to use a mech pump rather then a electric.

Then bend up some nice SS fuel lines on the motor and you done.
