Fuel line relocation mod
Fuel line relocation mod Ok so i've seen a few pictures of lt1's lately without the ugly loom of fuel lines that is normally found on our cars... sooo this afternoon i decided to try to clean up my engine bay and relocate the fuel lines out of sight...
I started off by cutting the fuel line protector off very carefully. I then disconnected all 3 fuel lines.
Next I jacked up the car and removed the drivers side tire and rim. I then removed all the bolts/clips and dropped the wheel well out.
I then proceeded to trace the fuel lines out of the engine bay into the wheel well. Then i removed the grommet and returned it back to its original position.
Next I broke out the drill and drilled out the new hole for the lines. I ended up drilling it to a little over an inch. I found a flat spot in the wheel right near the brake booster.
I then put my new grommet in the hole and started the task of tracing the wires behind the brake booster and back to the fuel rails. A little silicone spray helps squeeze the fuel lines through the grommet.
After tracing the wires, i zip tied up all the loose ends and neatened it up.
Lastly, I returned the fuel rail protector.
Then I cleaned up the wheel well with some zip ties, returned the wheel well plastic, put the rim and tire back on, and thats that.
Hope you guys enjoyed this!
