Routing fuel lines
Looking for suggestions or tips on how you are routing your fuel lines. I am going to run the nylon tubing and have my fuel tank under the bed. I also have a 9" step notch. I have to fit the pump and filter on the frame rail, but don't see a way to mount the pump below the tank since I have to route the lines over the notch.

Re: Routing fuel lines
mine are mounted just below the top of the tank along the frame rail. I don't have a notch but I'd think as long as its on the other (high pressure) side of the pump you'll be OK. I used all 3/8" s.s. hose and AN fittings for attachment. Corvette regulator is on the inside of the frame rail and provides the short return back to the tank.

Perfect! I have a similar tank, so I know what to do now! Is that a filter before the pump too? Guess that is a good idea so I don't clog up the pump... Glad this site is here. |

You can run a pre-filter but you need to check the micron size, you don't want the pump to be sucking through a big restriction.

Re: Routing fuel lines
ahh, I forgot the vette had the return on it too.
One more question... Since I have the stock regulator on the rail; Do I still need the vette regulator? |

Re: Routing fuel lines
I ran mine inside the frame rail. A little less visible.
