competition headers + Fuel lines
Anyone else have this problem on the passenger side? I just noticed it. Its the second tube back on the passenger side. The fuel lines and one brake line are angled off the frame to go under the engine mount. If I had a digital camera it would be much easier to show you. I tried to move these lines but they wouldn't budge.

i kinda did the same thing as Jon with mine. i cut a section out, replaced it with rubber line, and ran it as far away from the header as i could.

Where did you relocate it? Would it be fine tucked up next to the inside of the frame as much as possible? Or do I need to find somewhere else to place it? Any idea what size the line is?

i used 3/8" fuel hose on mine, and tied it as close to the frame as i could. never had a problem in the 3 years it was setup like that.

i ran the fuel hose over the top of the frame and down the outside of it and zip tied it in place all the way back to the tank, no problem in a couple years now.

I took all mine out once I caused the leak by trying to move it out of the way like you did. Make sure you check for leaks after you've moved it a bit. I took all mine out and ran steel line back to it .
