Fuel line under car.
#1
Would i NEED to use hard fuel pipe under the car or can i just rip that off and use rubber hose? Obviously fuel grade stuff, probably cable tied onto the existing return pipe which i dont see the point in changing?

Not sure if thats a dumb question or not lol.

I've used the braided flexi fuel line stuff underneath before..

Why would it be a problem?

I've been running rubber fuel hose under my car for a while now, zip tied up.

I did shit it when I went over that deer though!

But thankfully they stayed intact, despite taking my rear bumper clean off

10mm & 8mm copper lines, they clip straight into the existing clips.

Be careful when clamping the hose onto the tank pickup, it's made of plastic that doesn't take much to break.
Proper fuel line clips for that mate

I'll grab a few pics of my setup when I get the chance.

Is 3metres enough to go from tank to pump? It would if I ran it through the car but that's not a good idea!

Bought 3 but now I have it I'm skeptical :/

What internal diameter is that pipe? If you don't have enough I have 10 metres of fuel line that I never used I can sell if its the same size.

Is there an advantage to going 10mm? Veg might flow better? Chuck a lift pump on whilst your at it?

The return on the tank pickup is small but the "in" pipe seemed quite big. I plan on going 10 all the way to the pump getting rid of the 8mm under the car and that hard pipe on the fuel pump that's tiny.

A lift pump would be fine with a swirl pot, just not direct.

Swirl pot hmm?

Run it through the car and cover it in a heat wrap/blanket and wire it up to a switch!? Tongue

Is there a point where having the diesel/veg too warm becomes an issue?

Can't imagine you could get it hot enough to cause issues :/ even if you ran it through the heater box!

Thermal wrap, insulation, electric bed blankets/elements.

Or the old "glow plug" trick, pass it over a glow plug to warm it slightly.

Deffo worth upgrading the lines. There very small / dragging as stock...and thats on derv..let alone veg...lift pump with a swirlpot would work perfectly. This is how mine was setup before.
