fuel line fitting??
tom_loughlin - 5/8/04 at 09:58 PM

hey guys, whats the best way t fit the fuel line to the chassis??
i am thinking about the drivers side along the top on the transmission tunnel with the brake pipes, and the loom going the other.
is there any rules like with the brake pipes saying it must not touch the chassis (its plastic rubbery flexi type line)
also, do the same rules apply to the loom?

cheers

i sent my fuel line down the n/s, cos thats where the engine wants it on mine. Clipped every foot as steve says. my brake and leccies go down the other side. I dont think its too important about the fuel being away from the brake pipes or leccies, cos there should be no chance of a fuel leak anyway.

I think this has come up before, mr sva wants to see the electrics, brake lines and fuel lines fixed independantly and some have insisted on the electrics being on a different panel than the fuel line.

Some inspectors apparently don't think 12" is frequent enough. I've done mine every 6" to be on the safe side.

cheers for the help gents, have just panelled the car (floor and transmission tunnels) and routed the brake pipes in - tomorrows job will be leccys and fuel line.
thanks again
