Where to return fuel

What size is the hard line ? I 'm guessing it's #12 braided line? I am going to something similar on ours. It's the connection to the tank that may take some fabrication. I will probably use .035 SS. Thanks. George

George, you are correct. The hard line is 1" and it is broken up into several segments joined together by rubber hose. The braided hose portion of the main fuel line is #12. The returns are #6. Hope that helps. Chuck

Thank you Chuck. I ordered 1" .035 wall 316 SS . What kind of hose and clamps did you use? I run a filter with a shutoff and will return to one end of it with # 6. Your ride is looking good. Please keep us posted. Thanks again. George

George I can get pics of mine tomorrow if it will help. I came off the tank with a -16 into the manifold which is just about a foot long. Another piece of hose mounts goes to the pump from there. If your tank has a hose bung, you can adapt to AN flare for ease if needed.

Thanks Troy, on our FED we will have 6' of hard line from the tank to a large filter/shutoff. It will take some custom fabrication to connect the two and that is not a problem as Doug (driver) can make almost anything. I am concerned about the hose material needed at both ends Also I want to use something better than hose clamps to attach the hose. Thanks. George
