    Nylon Fuel Line Input Needed!

    so I decided to do some searching on some SS fuel line and pricing, when I had remembered Alan had mentioned about nylon fuel line in another thread (that i couldnt find), saying it was lighter then going with SS braided line....anywho i did some search and found this on ebay 2day, its the closest to SS lines that I could find, all other nylon tubing isnt covered like this stuff (well anything else i could find)

    this place seems like it has very competitive pricing too!

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/6-AN-...motiveQ5fTools

    anyone know anything about this stuff?? is it as durable? same life spam??? how does it take to heat??? im thinking it would be nice to use from the tank to the front of the car, then swap to SS when things get hot near the motor like for fuel rail and my external reg setup.

    LMK, thanks! always open to suggestions/comments

    This stuff is NHRA approved for fuel line.

    I've got some. It doesn't like regular FI clamps. The hose doesn't seem to crimp down but does seem to hold pressure even though you can spin it on the metal line. I've got it from the tank to the main lines just cause it was cheep and easy. Even though SS is a bit more of a pain to install once it's in it's great. I'll be getting rid of the nylon stuff after a while and going to SS braided.

    Mike I was considering some of that. I like the black and no cuts from assembling the braided steel lines. The car currently has braided from the cell to the engine bay, but it's not run optimally for my setup. Braided steel is a lot cheaper though...

    I think JT used this stuff on the Z. (This meaning the Earls)

    you're not assembling it right if you're cutting yourself. Go to www.anplumbing.com and watch the how to videos. It's really too easy.

    Jay I was mainly covering up the fact that I like the black over the shiny silver

    hehe understandable, the black is a little more stealthy

    I used Aeroquip as it is (was?) the only NHRA approved option I found.
