braided line backing out (pic)

[dboyle23]

I have a double braided line for one of my fuel lines and the outer line has backed out. Is this a safety hazard to drive on? The inner line is in the fitting extremely tight.

you should be fine, most people use single line for fuel

How did that happen? Is that an original an ss braided hose with an additional ss sleeve slipped over?

IDK, I bought it with an AFPT from a member on here about 18 months ago.

I'm not familiar with dual braided ss hose but I would think they'd design some kind of way of twining the layers together instead of one layer being able to slide wherever it pleases.

You can install everything and with the car off, jump the fuel pump relay (interior, passenger side, left kick panel, behind console stay bracket) so you can check for leaks as well as set the fuel pressure at the same time

If it was stretched incorrectly when cut, the outer layer might be shorter and pulls back when heated.

But, I should be fine right?
