Sniper EFI fuel line

[Ryan.C]

I am at the point in my installation where I need to run a fuel line. The "kit" came with 20 FT of rubber EFI hose. I really don't like the idea of running 18 Ft of rubber along the bottom of my car. What are you guys that have already been there done that doing for a fuel line?

If the Sniper instructions don't specifically prohibit non-rubber lines, you can use whatever you like.

I ran 2 factory 3/8 steel lines in the stock location.  I trimmed off the ends and added AN fittings so I could attach the braided hose from the ends to the tank and throttle body.

The only pain is that I had to enlarge the hole in the torsion bar cross member to fit both lines through. Other than that it kept everything real clean.

I love that solution 

Thanks for that pic

PTFE braided ,shielded where appropriate or steel lines.

I tried standard braided ,but you could smell fuel vapors after a while.

Building the fuel delivery system is more work the EFi itself is.

I would imagine the Sniper kit included a low-buck version of Earl's that is impervious to ethanol based fuel.  If it is straight rubber it is useless with today's gas.  I think my Terminator kit came with Earl's Super Stock hose.

The twin factory lines is a good option, you can bend your own, route the return opposite if it works better with your setup etc.

You'll be surprised how expensive some of the high end hose can be...kind of makes factory re-pops or SS look pretty good, lol.

That said, if the included hose is pressure rated and safe with ethanol blends, hang on to it as you will have a nice backup hose for roadside repairs or replacing flex lines every couple of years...that is exactly what I'll do with mine.
