Fuel line length needed

Curious if anyone would offhand know how much fuel line I will need to delete the old hard line feed. I think for now ill use the stock return line. Pump to rail is what I am looking for

Id get under the car and measure it out but trying to take advantage of those boxing day sales and it will be a process to get it on jack stands to get a good measure. I appreciate any help.

The lines are as long as the car. You only need to measure the length of the car and add some feet for bends and stuff

Depending on your goals and intentions I could sell you the lines/fittings I made a while back. I went with a -8 feed into parallel -6 lines to primary/secondary rails, then had a -6 return line.

My FD is in the shop right now for an EXHAUSTIVE build and we're going back to solid steel fuel lines.

If you're going to fabricate new fuel lines (or brake lines), I'd recommend going with a DOT approved Cunifer (copper/nickel alloy) line - they are extremely resistant to corrosion, and because they are a bit softer than steel lines, it's much easier to work into the bends needed and get perfect flares. A bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for. A good source for cunifer lines is Fedhill brake line - Where to buy brake line, fuel line, brake line flaring tools, brake line nuts and brake line fittings
