I have been looking myself, so far Jegs is the best bang for buck.

For some reason the Jegs brand fittings go together smoother than the summit brand fittings. I used russell hose. I'm pretty sure russell still makes the "twist-loc" hose that is a bit cheaper still, but the fittings are different. but yeah the two big places to shop are Summit Racing ? High Performance Car and Truck Parts l Edelbrock, ACCEL, Moroso, K&N, MSD, Holley & More! and JEGS Performance Auto Parts - Holley - Billet Specialties - Edelbrock - MSD - Moroso - Mr Gasket invest in a nice big hose cutter if you decide on stainless braided, good clean cuts are key.

Talk to BrokenTSi, he is a vendor for RCI. He can give you prices on hoses and hose ends (black nylon hose with black hose ends). He could also quote you for a whole fuel system if you wanted!

summit usually has better deals on shipping though. damn me for forgetting any "local" (dsm forums) vendors.

I went JEGs cause Summit had tax, good selection and free hat
EDIT draw out your plan and dont order unless you have the exact plan in front of you..or you end up with 3 hats

^ and a bag of -AN fittings that you will probably never use sitting in the bottom of your tool box. measure twice, order once.

Summit and jegs are both really good. If you want to support a vendor i recommend extreme psi.

+1 for jegs!

So, which brand of hose are you guys going with?

I've always used Earls Prolite 350, but I'm sure Earls isn't as cheap as the no-name/house brands.

Stm sells a kit from pump to rail with a fuelab filter kit in black nylon and fittings for $220 is this a good deal or better to get it separate?

Go to jegs or maperformance

That really boils down to what type of hook-up you have. If you pay retail everywhere, then it might not be a bad deal to buy their kit.

I was checking this kit out today. I was going to buy it until I noticed that if you buy the filter and the line kit seperate its A LOT cheaper. Didn't make sens to me. I'm gonna buy some russell pro. Was gonna buy from them but I think I'll shop around. Also,STM has the fuelab filter at retail. I bought the filter from THMotorsports and they had it lower than ANYWHERE else. With tax and shipping I payed less than I would've anywhere else.

I go to jegs for an fittings and braided line. Although for my fuel system, I went with the 220 STM tank to rail kit. Probably one of the best buys I had yet.

Did you get the kit with the filter as well?

Yes. Its a great kit.

i just placed an order for this kit yesterday from stm! (tank to rail kit) ill take some pictures for all of you on how it comes packaged and everything inside.

I ordered the kit also. It took 3 weeks to get it from stm. Good luck with yours.

Some info on the type of hose used with the STM kit (russell proclassic):

I use that hose in my engine bay for every plumbing need, its great, even amazing, but wouldn't use it for such lengths as from tank to rail.

I've always like the braided hose. It looks good. I've had no problems with my kit so far.

Just a thought, you can buy some 3/8 aluminum fuel line and the tube nuts and necessary fittings a lot cheaper than the hose. I think the line is about $20 for a 15 or 20' piece. Just flare the ends and it bolts right up to your -6an filter. You can't even see that expensive braided line anyway. Make sure the line you buy will handle your fuel presure.

i prefer heavy wall stainless tube for undercar fuel lines, then swap to stainless braid to go the the filter and rail, bullet proof setup, and i get the line and comp fittings free

I like the stm tank to rail kit myself and coupled with the full blown setup, its fantastic!
