Socketless hose?? Good to use or stick with braided? Well I'm doing a dual intank pump set up, just saw that socketless hose made by russel, aeroquip, and earls...they all have their own brand but looks to be the same stuff. Has anyone used this here on the board. It looks nice and simple to use and easy to install...although doing my braided lines up front wasn't too hard, it was time consuming.
Any NHRA rules about using more than a couple feet of this stuff? I'm thinking doing -8an from the tank to the rail and -6an from the rail to the tank in this stuff.
Thanks all

Not sure of the terminology used ??
By socketless, do you mean their push fit hose that doesnt require hose clamps of any sort ? rated at 250psi
If so, Ive used it on most of my fuel system. Its by no means easy to get onto the barbs, but it is pretty neat looking. Defo use oil when pushing the hose on.
-6 hose and fittings from Fuel distribution block, to the rails, then Tee-ing and returning to the regulator.
I used the earls push fit stuff.
You can see it at the front of the rails. It feeds into rails at the rear.

Reminds me...think I did the same.
I locked a male fitting into a vice to hold it, then screwed the barb fitting onto it. Then heated the hose, oiled the barb and hose inside, and pushed it on. Make sure ya get it first go. Once it stops movin, it stops movin, on or off.

haa ha! Just what I did. Action hose here in ALB has the stuff for CHEAP!
But alas my wallet has taken a pounding here lately. So it'll have to wait until it gets up to "mod" capacity again
Glad I have a V6 firebird to run around in now
