Fuel line Size

What Size braided line should I use Doing a TPI swap On my Lg4 Car.

-6 AN right ?

Also, Do I need to Flare the existing hardlines to hold the Pressure ?

What Fittings will I need to Connect the Fuel rail to the Steel braided, and then the braided to my existing lines ?


Thanks.




(look, I actually asked a question)

I suggest you get all the lines from a salvage yard. Look for any fuel injected F-body, even a V-6 has the lines you need. I paid like $20 for mine.

good idea John

the fuel lines in your car may be too small for a fuel injected intake.it would be cheaper to get all of them out of a salvage car than to buy all new braided line.that ****s $$$$$

If you ever plan on running it at the track and you get into the higher brackets where the rules get a little stiffer you have to have solid line, Steel braided is ussually looked down upon by certain inspectors. You also have to realize the pressure that will be on the line, make sure you get the correct fittings for a high pressure line

You don't need Solid line all the way to The Rails.

This will only Run fro the Existing solid line to the rail.

I wasn't talking about the "nasty rubber lines" at a junkyard. I was referring to the hard lines from the tank to the engine bay, those are the ones you need to keep it simple.

Then you get the rubber lines from the dealer.
