post pics of your stainless steal fuel system!
 

hey guys can we get a thread together that will show peoples fuel system if you have stainless steal braided lines etc... I'm just trying to get a feel for what connectors i need etc because lets face it the connectors are way to expensive to be making mistakes on what to order. So anyways if you could post pics of your setup it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I have to get some. I will soon.

I don't have braided lines. That will be touchup when im finished with the large projects.
Right now I have SS solid lines from engine to the tank and SS solid fuel lines under the intake manifold routing fuel to where it needs to be so there are no rubber lines to wear out where I can't see them.

Here ya go

What secondary rail is that? You really like those alan bolts!

Where did you get the solid SS lines for the Vac lines? I can't seem to find anything small enough, or did you just get yours painted?

What size are your AN fittings and fuel line?

im sure he just got the stock vacuum lines cleaned and painted...

Couple things wrong with those pics...

First, get the FPR (and as much of the fuel stuff) away from the firewall.
In most racing sanctions, it's against rules to run the FPR on the firewall.
Think: clutch failure
A clutch blowing apart can easily slice through all those components if it lets go.
Now, we don't like to think of such a disasterous possibility, but no sense tempting fate by compromising safety like that.
If it's good enough for pro racing, I think it's safe to say it's good for you on the street.

I dunno what kinda Y-splitter that thing is, but it doesn't look balanced?
If it isn't a balanced Y-splitter, you have more fuel going to the straighter section.
This is not a good thing when designing a fuel system.

looks good the wankler! I'm gessing that is a k2rg fuel rail? Also how did you mount your fpr? Are there brackets made for it or did you just fab up your own?

I'll post mine next time I post an update thread...

Thanks for the advice Ted.

they are just painted stock rails. I couldnot see myself spending the scrilla for the K2rg rails.

The vac lines are painted. I used -6 an fitting and lines for it.

BTW, who made that splitter?
At first I assumed it was an Aeromotive one (cause of the FPR), but I recall the Aeromotive splitter having a laser-engraved logo?

Shoot, I forget. I bought it off a guy on the forum here. I will look at lunch.

thanks aaron, would be much appreciated. I'm doing my stainless steal oil feed and return lines now so I get to mess with it a little first before diving into the deepend and going all out ss on all the fuel lines. Anyone else with stainless steal fuel lines and pics? Thanks

Steel Dammit. Stainless Steel.

I've been wanting to do this for a while. I might when I get tax returns back. I thought those were stock S4 rails. Thats exactly what I did, they're ceramic painted tho and heat wrapped. No SS yet.

real nice setup Wankler!

It is a Lemco splitter

haha my bad man, speeling was never my strong point ;)

damnit! people post pics!

Mine looked something like wanklers till Ted said not to put the FPR on the firewall. Then I went to the garage and ripped it off the firewall.

thats crazy! so you had to redo all your fuel line meaning buying new line and rerouting it? where do you guys put the fpr if not on the firewall? Pics!!!!!!!

I do not plan on running 10's, I do not think the clutch disc will be a issue.

i am thinking about using the front of the intake manifold, because if i remember correctly there are two holes i could make work. or i could i mount it on top of the UIM?

so where do the "pros" put their FPR? i literally have an entire engine bay to work with.

OK, I can see the point of avoiding puttnig the FPR directly over the bellhousing in case of some monstrous clutch failure. But the fuel lines run approx. 1.5' from the side of the tranny anyways so if the clutch fails and blows apart, its going to shear the lines presumably, right?

Wouldn't the smarter thing be to just install a scatter shield if you're really worried about this?
