I was checking out some stuff on my car today, and looked at what to expect for putting the T-Rex in tomorrow. I saw that all of my fuel lines are metal. How do you install this inline? Do you cut a section out? Flange it somehow, then use rubber hose to interconnect?

I've never done this before, and would like some pointers.

Thanks!

When I had one, I had it mounted on the area of what would be the seat back for the rear seats. I DID use a little tubing cutter and cut out a section of the metal line in there. Then, I used a flaring tool, and flared the line.

Next I cut a piece of rubber 3/8" hose to connect the pump to the flared lines. Secure with 2 hose clamps at each connection and I never had a leak from either connection.

Ive never SEEN a t-trex pump but I bet you could do something similar to this.

Good luck.

 

ok, so there is a small hand tool that will flare the lines so that the rubber tubes will not slide off....


I get it now..


Once again, Guido, you rule. :hail:

 

This is probably a stupid question...

Do you have to take the old(in the tank) fuel pump out when you put an in inline fuel pump on...

yeah yeah, it's a dumb question, but I don't know anything about inline fuel pumps. I'll be spraying soon, and I'm going to have to replace my fuel pump.

Also what does an inline cost.
Is their any bad side to having an external fuel pump?

 

yes there's a small flaring tool to do the fuel lines...never had a problem myself doing it this way after a friend told me the risks of not flaring it.

 

If the T-Rex has AN type fittings, (or NPT fittings that you want to use AN with) you can flare the hardlines and use AN tube nuts and sleaves to connect the hardline directly to the pump. Just another option.

No you can leave it in as long as you leave it working and it is in good condition. Different prices, but most average from $250 to around $300. Some are less $, some are more $. Cost is one. Plumbing is another. More noise may or may not be an issue. Really big HP apps require more flow but cars running 9s and 10s have been running an intank + inline though.
