Braided-Steel Fuel Line?
OK i recently went to change the fuel filter on my turbo car and i snapped the factory hard line because the jackass who owned the car before me obviously never changed it....anyway when something breaks on my car i upgrade it and i was in the proccess of redoing the fuel system anyway...
So i was woundering where i can buy braided steel fuel line (the real stuff not the tube covers the sale at discount) and how much it is a foot and where i can get the fittings...
Second i was wondering how long it would take, how hard it would be and if i would need any speacial tools besides the tools for the fittings

It'll be aroune $5-7 per foot, depending on size. Fittings from $4-$12 each, again, depending on size. Automotive Engineering carries it. You dont really need any tools other that a vice and a sharp hacksaw. The aluminum AN wrenches will help not to scuff the anodizing though.

Pinellas is on Ulmerton Rd. at US19. Not sure about the Tampa Store. Never been to that one. I got most of mine off of ebay. If you have time, there are lots of good deals there. What sizes are you looking for?

Seems awfully big. That's a #10 braided line. That's what I'm using for my 5.0 Mustang along with a #8 return line...and that's overkill.

He's right, usually people run #6 which is a small upgrade from stock or #8 if they want overkill. The stock fuel system with a wally 255 or supra pump and bigger injectors has done well over 500 at the wheels.

Here, I went through the trouble of searching to find some info. This thread has a lot of fuel system/fuel line info in it though it focuses mainly on aeromotive afpr setups- something you might want to look into, it's never too early to have control over your fuel pressure and to avoid fpr overrun.
