fuel filter line

[luii90]

hi dsmers, im stuck! As i was trying to replace a fuel line from fuel rail to fuel filter i notice i had broken the bottom fuel line underneath the fuel filter canister. my question is should i just go with a braided steal line from earls or should i just replace with oem? Car is making 380whp on e85 plan to raise boost so probably upgrade fuel filter with lines???

I would personally just upgrade to the braided steel lines.

Just my $.02

braided. its a no brainer. just do it, your on the threshold of needing new lines soon anyways if you are going to the 500-600 range eventually.

+2 on that ^^

Plus it helps flow a bit by getting rid of the banjo bolt on the stock fuel filter.

Another option, while running the braided all the way from the tank might be the best option. You can always cut the line, Flare it and use this fitting.

14mmX 1.5 Inv Flare to -6 Flare - Metric Fuel Fitting by Advanced Fuel Injection

Gets you to -6an then use a metal filter element. Its important with E85 to not use a paper element filter because it breaks the paper down over time.

thanks guys ill be going with your $.02 forsure going this route now take it all apart! so im ordering the 6an

id even piece the set together rather than buying it from stm. i spent about 400$ and got all the materials to run -8 SS tank to rail, rail to fpr, -6 fpr to tank. That includes all the fittings for a inline filter and the filter itself. the stm kit is more user friendly however.

yeah it is user friendly i would go with 8an but need car running asap! i wanted to put my new evo 3 ported o2 housing but ill wait some other time. guess ill still be rocking stock o2
