Fuel line routing?

So im getting ready to run my SS fuel lines. Question is I will be running a sump so the line will 90 out the back of tank. Where have you guys routed your lines? Under the car? Thanks.

never through the car!!! ss hose will still permiate vapor. trust me on that one, first time i ran my surge tank in the hatch i had used ss hose and the car always wreaked of gas. switched to teflon line ss hose( only hose that will not emmit vapor btw) and problems are gone.

There really isn't a need to run the lines inside the car. You would need more fittings such as bulkhead fittings to go from the rear of the car, inside and thru, then out to the engine bay. You could do it without bulkheads, but not as safe.

Running the lines straight up the rail provides a safe place and follows the return line, unless you are relocating it.

Hope it helps.
