Fuel Lines & Radiator Hoses
« on: May 17, 2006 - 05:40:21 AM »
Hi, just curious about getting some fuel lines for my car. Right now, one of the previous owners spliced in a piece of rubber that runs from the fuel pump to almost where the steel fuel lines goes to the pump and wanted to fix it before it becomes a fire hazard. In addition, can anyone tell me if these are good radiator hoses? I want something different to go with the aluminum radiator I'm going to have my in Challenger and would rather have the flexible hoses. Here's what I'm looking at.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

re: fuel line, OE is a rubber hose from tank line, just past the firewall, to just before pump. then from pump steel with a section of rubber on either side of filter a couple of inches long. These could be easily replaced by braided but I'd suggest keeping the metal in & out at the pump as the bends are radical.  :bigshades:

Prowler,  You didn't say that you had a fuel filter between the pump and the carb.   Make sure that you always have one in there.  If you want braided line, piece one together with Russel hose and ends and get the lines that fit your carbs.
