Thread: Tank to Pump.

Tweet

depends on alloy and wall thickness-------------if you are after every last ounce of weight as in a race car, choosing sizes depending on weight of fittings also comes into picture as well as location/size of tank (small up front tank for max weight reduction)

Hi everyone. Thank you for all the responses. After reading through i think ill go with steel line. As far as the car goes it is a 1936 Plymouth coupe. I put a pic up in the "Garage". Again thank you all. This site is awesome !!

I think you made the right choice.

Yeah, I think so too. While I think aluminum would work OK it's not very durable unless you're going to some of the more exotic alloys, and like DaveS says, one stone can be catastrophic. I've got a coil of soft aluminum tubing that the original owner of my Deuce project purchased, and I think it will stay coiled for some other use in the future, in a more protected area. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is using high quality hose for the fuel line vs rigid. It's easier to route, is OK with the devil ethanol, and only needs two fittings to complete....
