Fuel Line Size

[louisb]

I am getting ready to run a new hard line in the pan. I am planning to use seamless stainless 3/8 tubing. Is there any specific stainless alloy and wall thickness I should use?

Thanks,

Louis,

I just recently installed my fuel line through the tunnel as well. I purchased my fuel line from jegs. Here is the link http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/63036/10002/-1/757155%7C10019.
Let me know if you have any questions.

get the fuel line from Earls along with the flare tool and the fittings its the best way. AN-6 size all the way.

Hi Louis, Jegs even sells a kit complete with the right tool.

Thanks. Looking at the kits though, they use Aluminum line. I was hoping to use stainless steel. Though Alum would probably work fine. I will give it some thought.

Al is far easier to bend.  I see no reason to use SS.

Thanks for the input. I will take another look at the aluminum kits.

Worked out very well.

I ended up going with 3/8 .035 316 seamless stainless steel tubing. I got the AN fittings, 6 AN, from HotrodVW from the other forum. It is a little more expensive but it will outlast the rest of the car. Once I get the line run I will post some pics. Thanks to everyone who gave input.
