Underhood fuel line routing help

[Jerry Clayton]

CobraBill----braided line is rubber---

Problems with braided line----cutting and assembling ----multitude of fittings required, usually incompatible fittings will find there way into the install, inproper lengths and clocking of fittings used, wrong flare types used, put together dirty,

they are WW2 era hoses and may not be conpatible with todays fuels

They are still RUBBER hoses and probably made out of trees


Fuel pump safety switches----probably won't activate if you don't hit straight on--hitting a wall sideways or backwards maybe won't shut off
sometimes, it isn't an issue of a crash that you need the pump to shut off, I have seen many cars burn because of a fuel leak from teflon tape usage and a bit gets in the needle/seat causing a flood situation, a backfire ignites the fuel and the owner gets out trys to blow off the flames while his 200 gph pump continues to pump and noone else knows where the switch is.

If any of you guys have the balls to hold one of these cars wide open enough to use more fuel than a mechanical pump can pump---NASA is taking applications

For Doug----if your car is going to truly be as loud as you say---pay attention to the numbers your FAA examiner says on your physical, because someday you'll need to remember them to get your 1st class.
