Title: Extending fuel lines
Post by: specialk on March 06, 2012, 09:18:26 AM

I'm new to fuel lines...

We are doing the engine swap on the MJ and the old rubber hose fuel lines are too short now.  Is there a way to extend them?  Or go get new ones made?  Some place like Greenline?


Thanks

I would just get new ones made up. If there is as adapter to extend its just another connection to go wrong

New lines are pretty easy to make.  They should be 3/8 or 5/16 tube or hose.

Use fuel injection hose (kinda expensive) and the special f.i. clamps.

All this stuff is avaliable at Auto Value on 37th.
