Fuel Hose/fittings suggestions

Y block is in the DSE shock channel in back and filter is basically right under rear passenger feet. Just behind the rear drain plug.

we use 1/2 fuel stainless steel fuel line and flex lines from the hardline to the tank and engine. Both ends have a T off of them

Agree --- use SS tubing for the majority of the system and only use flex where you must. Just my opinion - but it's the way I do things.

Greg, how do you go from SS hard line to flex line, meaning what fitting do you use in this application, on the hard line?

Use a 37* flare and nut on the hardline -- and a male/male coupler (actually called a STRAIGHT UNION) to transition to the flex.

Depending on the situation - it's also a good point to install a filter etc. With plumbing - it just depends on where you're at and what's needed in the system. It takes some thought and planning to have it turn out right.

I gotcha. Just wondering if you used compression style, or maybe had a fitting brazed on the tubing. I stick with with flex the entire run, to eliminate fittings. 99.9% of line failures happen at the fitting, so I use as few as possible, with lots of straps. Not saying I'm right or wrong, just works well for me.
