Dfuzer Rear Fuel Line Routing

[Dlinzy]

Does anyone run this and how did you route it away from the turbo or down pipe.

Since I have the option closer to Turbo up pipes or closer to Turbo Exh. down tube.

Any insulation on either?

Now?

Link worked for me. I wouldn't worry about the heat so much as I would that stainless line rubbing through the exhaust piping. Is the fuel line coated in rubber or anything?

On our vegistroke kits, we have rubber fuel lines that run VERY close to the up-pipes. Haven't really heard of any issues yet other than some dry rotting after a few years. Switching mine out for stainless braided lines...

Down pipe is MBRP 4" SS as well.

I'll Zip it up with SS ties to ensure it stays in place and just hope it never comes loose or contacts the pipes.

Are the fuel lines coated? Even if you zip tie, and they are not coated in rubber, they are going to chew a hole through whatever you tie them too. That stainless braided stuff is sharp.

I have an MBRP system on my truck too. The downpipe doesn't come near the fuel lines, it's the up-pipes you have to worry about. Passenger side was really close. No issues as of yet, mine is probably within a 1/2" and it's rubber...

I wouldn't even waste my time with that.

Only reason I'd put something like that in is to add a T in the middle and read fuel pressure back there.

lots of other places to read pressure without installing that.

theres a built in crossover in the fuel bowl.

Rubber? Like in non-insulated plain ole rubber hose?

These are supposedly good for 450+ and from what i understand, air is a very good insulator.

Didn't think too much about chaffing from the SS covering.

braided ss will act like a hacksaw.... I would make sure it had some kind of high temperature coating onit so that it didnt melt and let the braid cut... it will cut fast too...

Right, I just prefer reading pressure behind the injectors. Which is where I read from. I just have it easy since my vegistroke manifold has a port for fuel pressure already. I have a hunch that the pressure readings taken back there are going to be quite different than pressure readings taken up at the bowl. I've been meaning to hook it up to the fuel bowl to prove this and just haven't gotten around to it.

Yup, rubber fuel lines.

Exactly. It's amazing how quick that stuff will cut through damn near anything.

 

[Dlinzy]

Sounds like I'd be better off removing it and throwing it far away.

[Mdub707]

It's not going to hurt anything, but it's not like it's really helping anything either. If I bought a truck and it had it installed, it's not like I'd go through the trouble to remove it.

 

[Dlinzy]

I can only imagine it would be a real PIA to remove the bolts from above or below, huh.

[F-250-Owner]

probably wouldnt be a picnic... nothing would be in that location..... either from above nor below

 

[Mdub707]

You'll have to do it from below. I've done it more than a few times. It's never fun. I ended up modding an allen wrench to get in there to remove the factory plugs, and then when I'm tightening the new banjos in I had to cut a 17mm wrench down to a little stubby wrench to fit in there. It's tight up in there.
