Default Fuel plumbing...

Hi Guys,

Got a small crack in the hard pipe for the fuel system, so was thinking of going braided line feed and return, just wondering it -6 feed and return will be ok for a car running approx 340 and also what type of fuel pressure regulator would be ideal as an upgrade?

Regards, Kieren

Cossie I assume?

If so, -6 will be fine for feed and return.

For the regulator, I'll be using one of these:

I'd be inclined to use the PTFE lined stuff too personally mate to cut down on the smell of fuel from the lines.

That's definitely worth the extra money, but will it radius enough to follow the original lines?

It's actually slightly thinner than the normal type anyway so I'd have thought a little easier to route.
