I have a swapped lq4 in my el camino. now i used steel braided lines for feed and return. the Feed was pulled off a customer's car and i installed it on mine. but it seems that i am having fuel delivery problems now. Just wondering if anyone ever had probs with steel braided line collapsing?
it is a -8 line prob about 3-4 years old now. right now just a theory but wonder if anyone else may have seen this.

A weak braided line can collapse under a vacuum, but since fuel is under pressure, I doubt this could be possible.

It could be crimped or bent somewhere causing a restriction.

it was fine for a while. ran it out of gas recently :doh: that is when the problems started. also have a fuel cell in car. there is foam but wondering if this could cause a restriction. car was running good till ran it out of gas. fuel pump runs. but started thinking about foam getting wedged in the outlet of fuel cell?

the car will idle fine. as soon as i put a load on it it wants to die. once the weather clears up i am gonna pull the foam and clean the filter see what happens.

Fuel psi is?
Pump may have gone **** up, by being run dry...

^^^^^^^ Agreed, check pump output in psi, AND volume.
