Its a custom fabricated setup, the number of fittings you need will depend on how you build it. I suggest installing/mounting everything on the car where you want it to be/where it will be. Then just look at it and maybe lay some hose between the components and see what you're going to need.

I'm all for the DIY but why don't you just buy BPR's plumbing kit? You aren't going to save any money doing it yourself and chances are it might be more expensive if you make any mistakes.

If your doing it for fun/to learn then I understand that motivation so I would just recommend doing a lot of research into the type of fuel line you are going to use and then choose the fittings that are meant to work with that line. Fittings are meant to work with specific lines and I've seen people screw up and try and mix and match stuff and waste a bunch of money learning that lesson. One tip I can offer is you can look at the fittings that come with the BPR kit and just mirror that.

i dont see that the bpr kit has a regulator... have to have all the fittings for that too.

ive done a few setups.. and i do what letsgetthisdone suggested.

just look everything over, and start making an inventory of what you need.

Good point. They don't specify what their fuel line kit is setup for so I guess you would have to contact them to find out. I would imagine your still probably on the hook for the rail to regulator plumbing though.
