Braded SS Fuel Lines
 
22 Attachment(s)
since i have installed the PRJ Fuel Rails, my Stock Nylon Fuel Lines have been routed in ways that would make you cry. Not to mention when GM built my car they decided to put the engine cover in a manner that pinched the nylon lines and make a small kink in the supply line....

anyway here are the pics of how the nylon lines were routed

the return came out of the regulator and very close to the firewall

and the supply sucked even more. It actually went over the TB:mad:

Time for the Braded to go on

Parts:

Attachment 26980

Attachment 26981

Attachment 26982

Hard line Fittings
Attachment 26983

one is 3/8 the other is 5/16
Attachment 26984

SS line fittings
Attachment 26985

PRJ Regulator and Line fittings
Attachment 26986


so the cutting began, and since i have a ton of room in the engine bay, and the lines come up the entire way up the firewall i decided that i would cut the lines where the nylon started
Attachment 26987

so once the line is cut you can install the hard line fittings
Attachment 26988

Then measure the length you want and the routing you desire, and make your lines

Attachment 26990

as you can see i used the Annodized Blue/Red Fittings down low on the car so they would match and then the Annodized Black up at the rail so that they would also match the PRJ fittings.

Attachment 26991

the 90* is the return the straight is the supply.

Nice Pat, I kinda beat you to the writeup on that one lol, those Summit parts really help and it was nice that I could actually go pick them up

ya Frank, i have had my PRJ's since mid summer, and just havent got time to do the lines

crunkfrunk 12-07-2009 08:49 PM

I'm still running stock rails that were modified by me for the SS M90, I actually had to do the braided lines to stop a leak at the supply connector, it was a mess until that

Danthurs 12-07-2009 08:53 PM

Very well done. Looks much better now.

Black Pearl 12-07-2009 09:09 PM
