If you’re using the factory stuff, attach a 3/8″ hose (about 10″) from the barb fitting to the tank & clamp down.įor the racetronix version, here’s what we did: We bought a #8 male to 1/2″ barb fitting.Īttach whichever barb fitting works for your application. (the gas tank indenting is their for your hoses to follow in that path since the gas tank sits pretty close to the chassis!) (teflon line is used because the rubber lined braided hoses stink! really! they give out a gassy smell! teflon doesn’t! The cost difference isn’t that much, especially if you can find it on sale, or get it at a discount at places like on ebay, etc.) a 20′ piece of teflon lined #8 braided hose was purchased (but about 3′ was cut off, not needed). (there’s a piece on the end of the fuel rail that looks like a nut, but that part does not come off! The new adapter simply screws into that piece!)ĥ.
insert a 1/2″ Male JIC x M16x1.5 Male Metric adapter (thats the blue piece in the pic) into the factory fuel rail. it will be under pressure, so use caution!Ĥ. place a rag under the feed side of the fuel rail to catch the excess that will drip out.ģ. as always, disconnect the battery for safety!Ģ. (we’re assuming you’ve at least read the “how to” on the return line, so we’re not including some redundant detailed steps here that were previously described in that install).ġ. (it varies depending on what you’re using). The parts list needed is shown within the steps below. Just putting in the return line would have been enough to get the car running great (considering the other mods we’ve done), but we figured, heck, there’s just this “one last thing” (it’s always just “one more” – right?) to do before it’s “all” new, so alrighty then, might as well go ahead then… Installing a New #8 AN Braided Fuel Feed Line on the 1987 Buick Regal Grand National. Now finally, the last step in the puzzle. * and next to last, how to install a braided fuel return line. * then the Accufab fuel pressure regulator, It’ll be ready to rock down the line if and when future upgrades are necessitated! After installing “almost” a new complete fuel setup, the only part needed to really make it completely new, was a new fuel feed line, so we went ahead & did that as well.
