Fuel Line F-R Needs Replacement | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Former Member

All,

I was checking the fuel line from the Front of the Chassis to the rear at the IRS section. It is clogged, kinked or just blocked. Looks like the old owner, who never finished anything on this car, made a mistake and just left it for me to find out about.

I would like to replace the entire line from the front to the rear.

I need a suggestion as I have checked everywhere I can to locate a 10 foot fuel line that I use to replace it.

Ideas?

Thanks
Brian

summitracing.com has a good selection of tubing, hose, and fittings depends how elaborate you care to go. Auto parts stores can probably supply you with a standard duty fuel hose any lenght you want. Running it through the center tunnel is the safest if you use hose or aluminum tubing. Steel if you go along side the pan.

If you have to replace it, use stainless steel tubing for the long run front-to-back; that way you won't have to worry about it rusting.
