5/16 fuel line enough for 150 shot?
5/16 fuel line enough for 150 shot?
basically, exactly what the subject says. I want to use my return line as a fuel supply line for a max. 150 shot. Im planning on using a holley blue pump and regulator.

I think the 5/16" line can support fuel for a stand alone 150, just make sure its getting its own pickup line as well.

I think its a bad idea because you still should have a return line for the nitrous system. A buddy of mine used to spray his mustang without a return line on his nitrous system and he had to hook the solenoids up seperatetly due to fuel lag.
So in other words ....He'd leave the line with just the fuel solenoid opened and the second the motor started to bog he'd turn on the nitrous solenoid. If he activated them both at the same time he'd lean out and detonate (don't ask how the motor survived the first few spray runs). Anyway, he added a return line (like NOS's diagrams say to) and no longer has this issue.

yeah i see what your saying.... I think I might just go with a small fuel cell... I really dont want to tap into my main fuel line, so I think thats the best bet, besides running another line to the tank, which I def dont want to do.

actually it wasnt in the picture, not until I added a ground wire to one of the studs on the filler hole ring, but afterwards yes.
