First bonehead mistake. Need advice.

If I replaced the whole line, front to rear, with a braided teflon AN line, is there any problem with that (aside from the cost)? I think that would be more realistic than hard line, and I also could use one continuous piece to go from the filter at the tank all the way to the pump at the engine without additional fittings.

Either that, or my son suggested "glue."

Thanks!

You may get a few different opinions on this. I suggested the braided teflon because sometimes it's nearly impossible to re-run a hard line after the car is assembled. At least with a flexible line you might be able to route it from the tank to the pump without any additional fittings. That type of line doesn't like sharp bends so if you have some of those it will be a challenge.

The teflon lines are pricey but they hold up better to today's fuels. I've seen some other braided line rot pretty quickly. If the line runs through a bulkhead, use a grommet so vibration won't rub a hole in it.
