Vibrant Nylon Hose

[KCDsmDude]

Has anyone used Vibrant hose for their fuel line with success?

I see a couple threads where folks have used it for their catch can and radiator setups, but don't see anything regarding fuel.

Yep. Good stuff and won't poke your fingers like steel braid.

Assuming you've used or are using it. How do you cut it?

10+ years ago when I worked with steel braided I had to tape it, cut it, the push the fittings on, etc..

Seems a lost has changed in that time frame.

Nothing has changed. I cut it that exact way.

I cut it with a Dremel tool with a cutoff wheel. I use it on my AFPR to rail and rail to return. It is so much easier to handle. When the guys run bigger lines, they are using the nylon braid also. I have 6AN on my son's 86 Z28 from the electric pump in the back all the way up to the filter and carb. The fittings that can be used press into the middle then the outside part screws on to make it seal and are easier to work with also.

Slickest way I've seen to cut line, especially steel braid is tape it and give it one good smack with a sharp chisel. Needs to be on a vise or anvil.

I have personally used this exact hose for my feed and return and what I do is place one wrap of electrical tape where I want to cut, use the cutters I posted when push on the back of the fitting and assemble as you would with any an fitting.
