plastic fuel lines?
plastic fuel lines? Swapping an ls into a 71 nova and trying to decide on a fuel system. I was wondering if anyone on here has used the plastic oe style tubing and fittings from Dorman in a swap? Looks like a pretty economical way
I've used it for repairing many cars over the years. Good stuff (the nylon-to-steel compression fittings are a lifesaver!).
My swap car still has its factory lines, but I'll swap to the nylon stuff when the time comes.

Do you have a part number or anything on these fittings? I'm using steel lines, but the nylon might be a good alternative to the rubber hose I have been using at flex points. I've had some issues with this crappy ethanol blended fuel eating the hose from the inside out so you can't tell when its getting bad.

I went with a combo of hardline and stainless braided on both my cars. At the first sign of any issue, I'll be tearing them out and going with OEM plastic. Wish I would have gone that direction from the start.

The compression fittings are available in the "Help!" section at my parts store. The line is hard to find, so you may have to call around.
The quick connects (and everything else) are available from S.U.R.&R. They're local to me, but their products are available from Federated stores around here as well. They sell kits or single parts, but only list kits on their website. Call them and see what they can do.

S.U.R.&R also offers that copper/nickel brake line that is great to work with. I've dealt with them many times and highly recommend them and their products.
