fuel line replacement

[csarachene]

I changed the plastic lines in the tunnel with brake lines and it's working fine so far. I'd like to do the ones in the engine compartment too and get rid of those plastic ones for good. Has anyone else done this to their cars? Is there some reason that it would be a bad idea?

I replumbed my fuel lines from the tank to the carbs. Had to do some convoluted bending to come through the engine tin, used two short (2") lenghts of rubber fuel line to connect the 5/16 steel brake lines I used in really tight places. I ran mine to the back (trunk) bulkhead and put in a pressure regulator then a "Y" block to split the lines to the carbs. I fabricated a bracket to hold the pressure regulator to the bulhead and another to hold the Y block about the engine. From the Y block to the carbs I used braided steel fuel hose.
I used quite a few insolated line clamps to keep things from vibrating against other things. When I was finished it looked much cleaner than stock.
Good Luck

Did roughly the same thing, my job might have been a bit easier dealing with FI and no carb "Y's". I used flexible steel fuel line, comes in 25(?) ft coils (Jeg's, Summit, etc), was a little easier to bend than brake line, but got one of those cheap tubing benders to make things look good. Made one piece lines that go from the front trunk, thru the tunnel, along the back firewall and pass engine shelf, then thru the holes in the engine shelf, where the hoses connect. Had the engine out when I was doing this, may be tough to do a "one piece" install otherwise.

I used 3/8" line for the fuel supply (911 fuel pump fittings & didn't know how thirsty the 3.2 would be), and 5/16 for the return. You can get away with 5/16 both directions for -4's, using 4" runs of fuel hose and clamps to button everything up.
