Default Mfi to efi fuel lines

Morning everyone,

I know it’s probably been covered a million times but I can’t find it anywhere, I’m in the process of converting but not sure what I need to use fuel side in regards to old accumulator etc and the frst fuel rail has the end on the pressure regulator and then a screw on type at the other end, some detailed advice and maybe some pics would help me out a lot so i can get this all buttoned up. Thanks in advance
Blake

tank to pump
pump to start of fuel line
end of fuel line to filter
filter to fuel rail
other end of fuel rail back to fuel return pipe
other end of return pipe back to tank

ideally you want a pre filter on the pump and a post filter

hi mate thanks for the reply that helps a lot, I’m assuming filter to fuel rail is to the regulator then the other threaded end is the return?

I moved my fuel filter to a bracket mounted on the steering rack so I could get petrol running down my arm every time I have to change it🤣🤣
It was to clean up the bay and hose routing. 😁

🤣🤣 I do like the smell of petrol not sure about using it as a cologne though! I was thinking of trying to mount somewhere inconspicuous I’ll have to look at some options, have you got a picture of yours?

I cut the hard lines at a suitable place where the hose could connect too and fitted a compression to an6 fitting.


I didn’t like the filter on the inner wing with the hoses looping around the inlet.

that looks like a nice and tidy job, do you know what fittings you bought to go onto the filter? I may do the same looks a lot cleaner than going across the wing

thanks
