gts fuel line help

Postby runkillerrabbit » Fri Feb 01, 2013 1:22 pm

so i am currently finishing up a black top build (r2d2 in the build log).

but i am also doing a sr5 shell to only engine gts conversion.

i have everything except the fuel pump and fuel line ( fuel tank) if its just a baffle difference i think the sr5 tank with suffice untill later on.

does anybody sell new gas lines?
is the only way to get NEW lines is making it your self?

i have this ocd thing where i dont mickey mouse anything.
i know you can just use the sr5 line.
or do i just need to get a flare tool and flare the sr5 engine gas line to fit a high pressure fitting identical to the line coming out of the fuel pump?

IIRC everybody re-taps the fuel line to the bottom of the tank or something and then puts on an aftermarket fuel pump. Im not really the best to answer this but im surprised no one else has chimed in.

Cant you just run some fuel hose or bend your own line?

Best bet is to find a set of fuel lines from a gts in your area. Im not sure but I believe Toyota still sells them but they're not bent. So if you make your own or buy one from Toyota, your gonna have to bend it yourself.

yea think i might just go hoses or the cheapest route maybe recycle the sr5 lines and breather/ carbon? and return and just make one new line for the high pressure fuel in to the engine

I think that's the best idea. If you want to use a hard line for a high pressure line I know where you can get fittings that convert the hard line end to a -AN fitting.
