Similar thing with fuel pump.I'm thinkin 1000's to leave the door open to E85 later down the track, If they can be had at a reasonable price that is.May aswell do pump & surge too then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riptide Member 733 Member For: 14y 2d Gender: Male Location: Auckland, New Zealand Posted 14/02/12 06:43 AM Share Posted 14/02/12 06:43 AM (edited) As long as it's the correct hose for the speedfit fittings it doesn't even need clamps. I think my hose was close to $40 a meter and a hell of a job to push on even using a vice. Must be running ~80psi.Looks like a nice functional set-up anyways Edited 14/02/12 06:44 AM by riptide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
