Upgraded Fuel Line

For those of you that have upgraded your tank-filter line, where did you run it? I'm guessing that it will fit where the stock line is but I'm not 100% sure.

Pictures would be greatly appreciated.

I ran my -8AN line where the stock line is. It's a little bulged, but it fits.

I also ran mine under the plastic piece after I removed the hardline. It is also zip tied to the return/vent lines for added security.

I ran mine down the driver's side. However I also had the front subframe out, and did a AWS delete.

Thanks guys, after twisting the short feed hose from the tank in half & bending the hell out of the hard line I decided it was time to upgrade. I'll let 'yall know how it goes.

Then all you need to do is tee the 2 pumps together and have the second pump switch in when you want it to.
Why do un nessecary upgrades?

I fail to see how adding a second small tank with a pump in it is less of a "unnecessary upgrade" than adding a new fuel line...

This has to be a joke.

he has a full kit that he designed a while back..it's the best I've ever seen 8an or 10an from tank to engine bay, big filter, then guage, then through Y to dual rails, then Y back through FPR with guage and back through return..

unfortunatly Oohnoo has to redo mine as it's got the 75 Mivec heads :| (and he's doing the water neck)

I wish I could have found a 8an kit from the tank to filter to match everything else, but for $140 I wasn't going to argue.

I'm not making any power anyways :p
