Opinions on fuel lines

Hi,
Need to run some new -10AN fuel lines for my car. This project is taking ages, and draining me of cash. I need the most cost effective way of installing new lines?

Im using an Aeromotive pump, with a Holley 700 DP, modified for blowthrough.

Re: Opinions on fuel lines

Ah, no replies, it was a bit vague. My question is, are rubber lines ok to use from the tank to the carb, or will I have to use braided?

Re: Opinions on fuel lines

We used this on my brothers car, Very nice and easy to work with. I would never just use regular rubber fuel line for that kind of length. Good luck. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-220791-B/

Re: Opinions on fuel lines

you want as much hard line as you can get, braided rubber line is a suitable alternative. just bare rubber, no way.

Yes, this sounds perfect. The price isn't too bad either.

Thanks for the replies

Although it looks like rubber, in the description it says it has an elastomer inner tube bonded with a reinforced textile braid, and covered in high-temperature synthetic rubber.

So it does have a textile reinforced covering.

Exactly, It's not just rubber fuel line it's NHRA legal so it will be just fine for a street car.
