Fuel Lines and Filter – 4 Hours

After a couple of weeks absence due to international work commitments, it's time to start getting ready for the engine to arrive (hopefully by late May). As I am using EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) I had to swap out the standard fuel filter included in the kit with a filter capable of accepting the higher pressure of a fuel injection system.

Earlier I had installed a Ford Racing EFI in-tank pump, the hose from the pump to the filter that came with the pump fitted just fine and as the fuel lines in the trunk area are functional and typically not seen, I decided to stay with all the standard kit hardware, once we get to the engine compartment this will be a different story.

Hard lines were run from front to back along the 4” passenger chassis tube. 5/16” Hard lines are used from the tank to the engine bay, a smaller ¼” line is used for the return. The hard return line was routed approximately halfway along the upper 2” x 3” chassis tube (trunk support) before switching to the nylon fuel line.

Rear wiring harness was also run, and temporally held in place with zip ties.
