Upgrade to 6AN Fuel Questions

[redeclipse7782]

I am in the process of upgrading my 2g AWD fuel system. I want to run 6AN lines from the tank to the filter and from the filter to the rail. I know I need (3) female 6AN fittings one for the tank, filter inlet, and filter outlet. I am using the Mr Gasket 6AN Billet fuel filter. I also need a 6AN fuel rail inlet fitting. My question is what length of 6AN SS line do I need from the tank to the filter and from the filter to the rail>?

Thanks,
-Brian

10FT

4 6AN fittings of your choice

1 6AN fuel rail fitting.

you will also need 6AN Male to 14mm x1.5 Female Saginaw Adapter to connect from your fuel pump assy to ## 6AN line

well when i bought the kit that went from tank to filter from slowboy racing, it was 15 feet long. i only did up to the filter and i used about 12 ft.. and to do the fuel rail don't you need a special adaptor?

 

[halik008]

10ft is all you need......just did mine yesterday..... had about 1 ft left....

10ft! no way you need a 6.5' length to the filter and 1.5' length to the fuel rail, that is presuming your putting the fuel filter near the stock location

I think this may help. I used this as a guide line for my -6 fuel delivery system.

Just recently I upgraded to a size 8 feed and size 6 return which took alot more work. 11secgsx did that and I decided to do the same. I have a picture in my gallary of the pump.

there is no way u can do it w/ 6.5 FT if you are going from the top of the fuel assembly to the front.....

Acutally you will only need 10ft total to do the whole thing....from pump assy to filter from filter to fuel rail.

Also i personally use two 45* 6AN's for the filter oulet and fuel rail inlet.....90* seems like overkill unless u are planning on mounting it way up high almost level w/ the fuel rail.

You are correct. That is why I just used it as a giude line. However, it does contain alot of usefull information. But, one of the things I did different was instead of threading my fuel rail I just got some bolt on fittings from slowboy. Let us know how this turns out for you.

Updated list, also included links.

That should be enough. Just make sure you do a good job on routing your lines. I ran mine by the transfer car to the passenger side. I make sure the lines were tight against the frame and that they would not touch any moving parts or heat sources.

 

[halik008]

Updated list, so I only need 10ft total to go from the pump to the filter and from the filter to the rail?

yes i just did the 6an update yesterday w/ summit hardware. i routed the hose following the fuel lines and ziptied it directly to the old fuel supply line. I still had a foot or lil longer left after routing the hose from the pump assy to my filter and from the filter to the fuel rail.

Perfect, thanks everyone for all your help.
