Who offers the Best Tech Support PTFE Fuel Line

Ok, I'm going to do this $$$...
I'm going to buy the $200 Edelbrock Fuel Pump and I'm going to run PTFE Fuel Line connected to the fuel tank's Steel Line, there's a compression AN fitting that I think does that, then into the New Edlebrock Fuel Pump, One of the fittings in this line connection is going to have to swivel/rotate when I go to tighten so I won't be trying to twist the line!

Ok so that's Fuel Tank ->Fuel Pump.

Now Up To The Carburetor
I have to remember to "swivel/rotate" at least at the very last connection point at the 1400 Edelbrock Carb.
So, off the fuel pump I'll use a 90 fitting to take Line up headed to the carb and I'm Not going towards the block/exhaust, I'm going back near the frame and wheel well hump and do another 90 with a glass sight fuel filter to take me towards where the Heater Used To be and do another 90 that's about 2 Feet straight across from the Carburetor's Fuel Input Port.

Ta Da...Fuel Pump->Filter->Carb

Oh Yeah, I do wonder about any PTFE line stress between block and frame, especially at the steel fuel line coming from the gas tank at the frame and the PTFE on the fuel pump connection?


Tech Support at Evil and Edelbrock No Bueno! Aeromotive is top notch but They have Porsche/Ferrari prices.

How's Summit's?
I have to talk to them anyway to buy the pump...and Russell?

I had a good experience with Brothers on a tachometer install

Re: Who offers the Best Tech Support PTFE Fuel Line

Are you buying a glass filter that unscrews to replace the element? If so, I'd advise against that. I had one get loose and drip fuel on the engine. I'm not going to post a picture. I went and looked, and there's a lot of them like that.

Yep, I'm going to use one of those, hope I don't have any problems, I've used them for years and never had one let loose on me.

Re: Who offers the Best Tech Support PTFE Fuel Line

I used Evil PTFE on all of my lines. I had never ran the stuff before and when finished I had zero leaks. I ran the supply from the new tank under bed to two fuel filters in frame rail. One 50 then one 10 micron filter. Then to the FiTech EFI. A return line back to tank. The trans lines to radiator then to ext cooler and back. I did get the aluminum crescent wrench and the tool to push into the hose to round it up. A good pick and small flat screwdriver to loosen up the webbing to get the fittings on and finally lube. I used Tap magic lube under the nuts on top of the webbing before tightening up it is a must. Also used a cut off wheel on a grinder to cut the hose to lenght. You will use more fittings than you think and they have kits on Amazon.

Re: Who offers the Best Tech Support PTFE Fuel Line

Bought Every thing threw Summit. Spent about 40 minutes on the phone with Tech Support. $600, including the pump and I did buy tools and a few extra pieces just in case.
If I Really knew what I was doing I might of been able to do about $450 without the extra just in case parts and tools....

Ha! and I got to tell you all This!!!...
The Sales/Tech did try and sale me Steel Braided covered efi/ethanol rated Rubber line to begin with! Told me it was just as good for my application and less expensive!

Also, I won't be using the glass filter, but I will be using a glass fuel sight with a gauge. The filter will a metal housing one. I'll post a picture once an IF everything is Working but it Will be a while....

"Tap Magic" is cutting oil, 3 in 1?

Re: Who offers the Best Tech Support PTFE Fuel Line

3N1 would probably be ok. Tap Magic I had, and it is a lot thicker and worked well for me. Gear oil would be good as well but you have the stink. Blow out your lines when your done. The grinder does leave some dust in them.
