3rd gen tank ls1 swap fuel lines
UPS just dropped off my walbro 255 pump, vette filter regulator, russell fittings and stainless line. I have the diagram of the lines from the fuel rail to the stock sender. I am just looking for pictures of some lsx swappers to see how they look. Just want to see what was done with all of the lines after the filter, etc.
From what I have read, and correct me if I am wrong, all of the lines could stay in place coming from the tank to the regulator. I will use the stainless line from the filter to the rail.
Thanks for any info or pics

pop6482, i'm not totally clear what you are asking, and i don't have pictures of mine, but i will try and describe as best i can.
i removed all of my hardlines from the car. use the stainless to make a supply line from the pump/sender to the vette filter/regulator. i used a small chunk of regular 5/16" fuel injection rubber line to make the return line with the fittings back to the pump/sender. then use the rest of your stainless line to go to the fuel rail from the outlet of your vette filter/regulator. i ran my line in the stock location and went under the steering shaft and came back to the fuel rail from behind the mastercylinder/booster area. i mounted the vette filter/regulator in the stock location with the stock bracket...the stainless line that goes to the fuel rail actually comes out of the filter on the outboard side of the car, not towards the driveshaft.
i hope this helps without confusing too much!

Re: 3rd gen tank ls1 swap fuel lines
This was a rough idea as to the way it was gonna run on a friends car till he decided to tear it apart to part it out. I have the same setup in my car now as I bought it off of him. It will be ifished this weekend if you want more pics but here what I found

Thanks for the pics! I just think it makes it easier for me when I see it already done rather than a diagram.

Re: 3rd gen tank ls1 swap fuel lines
Maybe a stupid question, but I don't want to screw this up. On the inlet side of the filter which is the return port? Middle or outside?
