in tank pump & fuel line pics

[777mechanic]

i'm going to run my fuel system this weekend and was wondering whats the best way to plumb lines . i've read part 3 fuel system on fordinject page but it's for external pumps , question do i need the fuel accumulator or can i just run an inline filter . would really like pics of your installs .

i've found any auto parts stores carry 3/8 or 5/16 line steel line and some even carry stainless

Nylon? i thought you were supposed to use stainless for fuel lines?

If you want custom made fuel lines check out www.inlinetube.com

However fuel lines are so simple and easy, just use 1/4" or 3/8" hard steel line from the parts store, i did, used a brake line bender, and it looks great. If you don't know how to use it, get a couple extra sticks (for the price its cheap)and make one line, find out what you don't like and do it again. It is a pretty simple job that you should learn if you own a Bronco, and you will have the satisfaction of doing it yourself.

ANY parts store should have the carb filter.

Good Luck!

I use just hard steel, but have used stainless

Nylon is used on a lot of new cars, even my 86 BII has some nylon with the EFI. I like the look of steel, and i think nylon would be harder to work with

i found this, but i guess doing it myself sounds somewhat easy and a lot cheaper. how would i add connectors or the tank selector valve to the hard lines?

what would be better, hard steel or stainless steel and what lengths should i buy it in?

I would use the 3/8" brake line from the parts store. You are going to have trouble double flaring SS lines unless you have a really good flare kit. I don't really see the benifit of the SS lines. I robbed the original ford lines off a big bronco. They are nylon withe a insulating hose around them. I also grabbed the filter bracket off the frame. I am running an in tank pump, I modified an old BC tank, and run my lines on the passenger side outside the frame rail and up to the fuel rail for my EFI. Everything from tank forward is factory line from scrap yard. Works well.

You can find all the push on fittings at the junkyard off all types of FORD EFI cars and trucks for the nylon fuel line if its good enough for the factory good enough for me... Lincolns, t-birds, mustangs, taurus, f-150, blah blah blah... That way you can connect factory ford fuel rails without much hassle using the factory springlock connectors

Not saying its better than hardline, but its another way....
