Default Need to extend fuel line.

I am looking to flip the fuel rail over, so instead of the fuel rail test port sticking out by the number 1 cylinder, I want to flip the fuel rail over/Backwards so the test port is facing the firewall near number 7 cylinder.

I need to find a way to extend the stock fuel line so that the fuel line will reach the other side of the motor, and would like to keep all the factory lines and connections if at all possible.

I recently installed a Autometer electric fuel pressure gauge and the sending unit has a few adapter and looks to me a bit gaudy, I can send pic if that will help.

Thanks

i used this with my autometer and it looks like it came from the factory with it.

How comfortable are you with fabbing up your own stainless braided lines? There are enough adapters on the market that can let you run the fuel line wherever you want, yet still retain the stock hard point connections (like the one at the rails and the hard line coming from the back).

I don't want to run a whole new line. If I can just plug a ext into the stock line that is inthe engine bay, then run the line to the other side of the car. Then plug in to the rail.

The adapter int he second post is great but still wanting to flip the rail over.

The stock line is designed to end at hard points (the spec is SAE J2044). I'm not sure you have any other options besides fabbing up a new line with the correct adapters that plug into the hard points.
