Default Help with fuel lines with ls swap

Any ideas on what's the best hose to use? I was thinking of using earls super stock hose. Wanting to go with AN fittings probably 6 fuel/return.

Just trying to see what you'll think.

I liked the idea I don't have to buy special wrenches to use it and it rates 250 psi...

Not sure why it wouldn't work

I am a big fan of Fragola hoses/fittings. Great quality and Made in the USA (to me that is a huge selling point). Pretty much every line/fitting on my fuel system is Fragola.

I can't stress enough how important it is to get PTFE hose. If you don't you will get fuel permeation and you will get a horrible fuel smell which will lead to fuel seeping thru the hose itself.

What hardcore said^^^
We use the same product[s].
The PTFE hose w/ the blk cover is our fav.[Along w/ the black fittings.]

Russell's ProFlex hose is 50 bucks for 10 feet at -6 AN. Its braided stainless hose thats rated to a couple hundred PSI and compatible with nearly all fuels, including methanol.

Fragola is about $10 more for braided nylon hose of the same size and length.

Either will do the job.

Default Thanks for the help

Thanks for the advice. Just looking up part numbers... Seems like the 90 degree AN fittings are pricey!
