We did that already, that was our dual feed system that we offered.

 

I've got 3/8" stainless steel line on my car, just the feed line. I wouldn't run any AN type line on a street car the entire length of the car again. The hose eventually leaks and fails. 3/8" is close to -6 AN and is enough line for over 1,000 hp.

 

Just to clarify, I think David is talking about braided line when referring to leaks. I agree with him that most of the lower end braided is junk for fuel. However, you guys won't have any leaking issues with Aeroquip Socketless. It's not braided (that's besides the point), easy to terminate and is rated for ethanol.

 

on my sti i only ran a total of 6' of summit braided like and the smell was terrible on hot days, especially when i had a tank of q16.

 

i use the socketless at work a lot and it does break down and crack after a few years, and we run only low voc coatings thru it. stainless tube or teflon are about the only thing that really work well.

 

Yes, I was having a brain fart and couldn't think of "braided" for some reason. Doing the rigid stainless line I did was tougher than using braided hose but it is on the car and will be there for 50 years.

 

Correct which is why I was mentioning it... he pretty much has everything to make it work, unless he wanted to use AN lines... How much of a difference do you think it would make in system capacity to unilize the dual lines up to the engine bay?

 

There are different grades of the Aeroquip Socketless. I've seen zero issues with Ethanol and the street cars that I've built that use the grade of Socketless that Summet/Jegs sells.

Assuming that the stock fuel feed like is 5/16"ID, and the vent line is 1/4" ID, the flow capablities of those two lines together is only going to be slightly greater than a single 3/8" ID line. If I'm wrong on either one of those lines (the stock feed or vent ID's), and they are smaller, than the single 3/8" ID line will flow more than the both of them together.

 

I think they are both 5/16"...

 

I'd have to check. Either way It's a much neater job to do your Y/filter at the back of the car vs. the front.

You guys are just going to have to trust David and I that -6 is more than enough.

 

Like I said, we used the return line in our dual feed kit we sold. The kit was a PITA to put together so I simply quit offering it. My car on gasoline and our double pumper with 1200cc injectors ran 9.0 at 159, that was with the single factory line.

I ran the twin lines at some point and the IDC's dropped quit a bit. I wanted a cleaner set up and went to the single 3/8" line. Duty cycle's are in the 80% range on 2000 cc injectors, our twin pumps and 700+ whp on our dyno.

 

Thanks for the info Dave...

Freddy if you're bound and determined to use the factory stuff, get the IDs for me and I'll lay out the math for you

 

Travis, im not... I don't plan on doing anything else with my car and I am not where close to being maxed out... I was just asking dave since he has done it and id he says IDC dropped a bit that tells me it worked...
