Braided fuel lines
Braided fuel lines On my carb set-up I have rubber fuel lines and I want to run the black braided nylon. I have never ran and lines just wondering what size I needs to runs and if any certain brand is better than another?

You will need -8an or -10an sized.Dont know your exact set up or power output but that is the norm until you make a lot of power.I run -10an from tank and pump to the regulator then -8an from the reg.to the carb,then run -10an return back to the tank.My lines are braided steel lines,all fittings and lines are very costly but look sweet.

The way we do all ours, might be overkill in the beginning, but will last forever.
tank to filter/pump AN-12,
pump to Y-block AN-10,
Y-block to carb regulator AN-8,
Y-block to N2O regulator AN-6,
regulator to carbs AN-6 each bowl
If using a log or single inlet, AN-8
return line from pump to tank AN-8
air return from regulators to tank AN-6

For a street car with a street type pump I would go -8 from the tank to pump, pump to regulator, -6 from regulator to carb with a -6 return.
For a race car with a big race pump I would use a -12 tank to pump, -10 pump to regulator, -6 regulator to carb with a -8 return line.
As far as lines I think the push lock stuff is pretty affordable, light weight and flexible.
