Resolved 2G Need help with choosing the correct fuel lines and length

str95tsi · Nov 30, 2015

Ok so at this point i need to order -8AN feed and -6 return fuel lines.
So i need to order enough fuel line but not to much.

First off: how much length do i need to order?
Second off: what brand and type of fuel line?
I plan on running pump gas, non ethanol clear premium, and race gas and maybe E85 or E95 in this car.

Im going to run -8AN from pump to filter then -8AN from filter to fuel rail then -10AN from fuel rail to fuel pressure regular than -6AN from fuel pressure regular back to the tank.

The shop working on it with me sed Earl's pro-lite 350
Is this the right fuel line to use on this type of fuel set-up?

Ok so ive decided to go with Earl's speed-flex fuel hose.
Its Teflon carbon coted.
Only thing i don't like about it is i wish they made it in Kevlar instead of stainless steel.
Like the ultra flex.
Just because it would be supper light weight.
8 AN from tank to rail and from rail to FPR and 6 AN from FPR back to tank.
My question is how much length of hose should i order for a 2g?

I'd stick with the stainless steel braded hose, it's a little more robust. Especially because it will be run in under the car. Also, ditch the -10 section...its wholly unnecessary. Go -8 from the pump to the filter and rail, then -6 from rail to the regulator and back to the tank. 12' of each should get the job done with some left over.

Ok just order 15 feet of each and i should be good right?

Yeah, 15' of each should be more than enough. Feel free to PM me of you have any other fuel-related questions!

Ok so i went with 20 feet of 8AN and 6AN Earl's speed- flex fuel hose.
Its stainless steel braided on outside and inside its Teflon thats carbon lined to dissipate static electricity.
Handles temperatures between-65°F and 450°F
I'm sure it's over kill.
but after some researching i thought I'd stay on the safe side of having extra hose and teflon carbon lined hose.
I still need fittings and dam are the speed seal ends pricey.
