Flexible Fuel Hose – 4 Hours

Installed 6AN flexible fuel hose from the hard lines, which terminate at the passenger side foot box, to the FAST EFI fuel rail, returning via the regulator, unfortunately Factory Five Racing assume a low pressure mechanical fuel pump will be used. This means that fittings are required to transition from the 5/16” and ¼” hard line to 6AN fittings.

Although there are a variety of options, the connectors used were purchased from Mike Forte; these are high quality stainless steel fittings. In addition a 4AN female to 6AN male expander is also required as the ¼” hard line fitting terminates with a male 4AN connection.

Normally I am not one for gadgets, over the years I have happily ripped up my hands forcing braided hose into a AN fitting, but no more. I came across this great gadget from Koul Tool, the video explains all. After making three complete hoses today I have to say it is as easy to use as the video suggests.

Tip of the day: A great way to cut braided hose is to mount 2 hacksaw blades, one with teeth forward the other with teeth backwards, this cuts in both directions and significantly reduces fraying of the braid.
