Plumbing Preferences?

[Mike Peters]

Soon I'll be plumbing the fuel system on my car. Anyone got any preferences or "stay away from" stories as far as brands of fittings and hose? I was leaning towards a push-loc style. I'd also like to save some weight too.

I have a hodge podge of just about everything on my car. They all work pretty well. The new lightweight braided stuff looks really nice and saves weight. I think Sparky is selling the stuff. Try posting in his section or sending him a PM.

Aeroquip makes nice Push Lok stuff, as does XRP. I've had better luck with them than Earls or Russel, and hear horror stories about Fragola.

It's not push-lok but I love the new Earl's Pro Lite 350 hose. Soooo easy to work with and very light. I've been buying the Jeg's brand -an fittings lately and they are good quality. They look like they're made by Earl's also, just cheaper.

Id try doing a few of the complicated bends using same diameter brake line.

Thats how I felt when I saw the pics also.
My buddy just did his Pro Mod car with the new crimp together Fragola stuff. It is some bad ass shit!
I have used them all and as long as you dont mix and match hose and fittings then you shouldnt have any problems.
