Fuel Hose And Fittings

[Blowute]

Hey guys and gals, Im in the process of fitting an upgraded fuel system to my ute, im going to run the standard fuel pump to fill a surge tank, then an 044 pump to the front. Ive heard a couple of different stories regarding what fittings to use.

A mate with a vl using the same basic setup less surge tank is just using efi fuel line, hose clamped on to brass hose fittings. He is a mechanic and his car has benn running fine for some time making good power.

Another person has told me that the 044 pump would just blow off the hoses, due to pressure, and that I would have to use braided screw in fittings.

Is anyone else running just efi hose and clamps?

Thanks in advance

how would it the 044 blow the hoses off?

the fuel reg will open and send the fuel back to the tank once it reaches its max

pressure

Yeh that does make sense. I ended up using just clamps on normal brass fittings, havent stared it yet though. Will be this afternoon!
