Fuel Line Routing

[formula_raider]

I am removing all the existing fuel lines from my 73 GT and re-doing the fuel system. I have new 5/16",3/8", 3/8" alumium fuel lines that I am going to run: Charcol Vent, Fuel Main and Fuel Return. Although I have a Carb I am setting everything up just in case I run fuel injection at a later date. My question to fellow Opelers is, what are some of the fuel routes that you ran when you re-did your fuel lines. Did you follow the stock path to about the engine bay, then which direction did you go? In front and just below the radiator??

I would suggest doing a search for EFI, surge tank, or some other phrase regarding upgrading to FI on your car. There are a whole bunch of threads on the subject. Some, including mine, are quite lengthy in that they cover quite a few other subjects in upgrading the engines and fuel delivery system. One thing to think about, that is covered extensively, is the posssibility of fuel starvation to the fuel rail under "spirited" driving with less than a half tank of gas. Also there is the requirement to have a "return" line from a fuel injection fuel rail back to the fuel tank and the requirement for a reasonably high pressure fuel pump. On Willit? I ran 1/2" stainless lines from a "boost" pump to a feeder or surge tank then to a high pressure fuel pump to the fuel rail. Also I have 1/4" stainless for the returns lines and the vent lines. Because I'm running dual exhaust from the V-6, I have to use the original routing to keep the exhaust away from the lines. HTH.
