2.7 Fuel Line Installation
Before performing any of these steps, relieve the fuel pressure in the vehicle’s fuel system.
Rubber Fuel Line Fuel Supply Installation
Before performing any of these steps, relieve the fuel pressure in the vehicle’s fuel system.
1. After relieving all pressure, locate the place in the fuel feed line that you intend to intersect, making
sure that it is within a reasonable reach of the fuel solenoid.
2. Cut the fuel line at the desired location, being sure that you cut in a straight and clean fashion to
prevent debris from getting into the fuel system.
3. Install the supplied hose barb tee into this location as shown in the photo below and secure with the
supplied hose clamps.
4. Install the supplied fuel hose from the remaining barb of the tee to the fuel filter barb fitting and secure
using the supplied hose clamps.
The finished hose barb installation should look like the image below.
2.8 Fuel System Leak Check
Thoroughly check the fuel system for leaks after completing the previous steps. This can be done by turning the
ignition key to the “on” position, making sure not to start the vehicle. On typical EFI-equipped vehicles, turning the
key to the “on” position will initialize the fuel pump, thereby pressurizing the fuel system. Check around all of the
fittings, lines, and other connections that you were working with on the fuel system for fuel leaks. If any leaks are
found, promptly correct the problem, and perform the checks again before starting the vehicle.
