Ah ok - sorry was thinking through the cabin.

Even in the tunnel I'd be using steel fuel line, you wouldn't want to nick the rubber on some tree branch or something and end up with fuel pissing out at 6bar.....

not through the car.....
the orig goes through tunnel

then it has to fit rear brake line aswell

I don't think running rubber hose through the cabin will be OK.

I'm not even sure in a road car if steel fuel line in the cabin is OK.

On a race car it's OK, that's what I'm building....if your going to engineer it you might need to check with an engineer....as I don't know if it is legal for a road car!

I think 5/16" should really feed the engine well enough. So I don't think you need to change at this point.

I've actually been told that using the 044 might be a bit too much overkill and just heat up the fuel....but I'm committed now and we'll see.

I rather have too much than not enough.

VL and 5/16 should be plenty though,

Just gave me a good idea BigD!

I plan to install the EFI fuel filter in the engine bay, rather than in my metal box...

I might make sure I can reduce it there to whatever the engine fuel rail sizes is.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Na Mildman, i must have confused you with my wording. Its nothing that hasnt been done 100 times before, but i though i would help out milkgan. after the lifter, surge tank, efi pump in the back i have the upgraded fuel line all the way to the fuel pressure regulator in the engine bay. Then if required i can reduce the fuel hose/line from the regulator an not have to muck around with extra fittings. its a reducer a pressure regulator in 1.
