I see the fuel lines on the left. There is herd line on the end of the rubber line going to the filter. You'll just have to cut it off there and use a flare fitting to begin your stainless line from there, then go to your new inline filter and then to your fuel rail :thumb:

The modifications in this thread do exactly that, so you won't have to worry about those short metal lines on top of the fuel filter assembly. :thumb:

im still buying the same list of thing to do the same modify as you :D


ps. the "H" element on the pic you posted with the summit racing recive has now a different code, and i just cant understand why if your rail has 1/4 you buy a 3/4 ? :eh:

Thanks,
Jeremy

- Tue Dec 21, 2010 12:50 am #228959 Ok, Here's a twist to this mod I need help with. How could I tap into the fuel line if I plan on running a Wet Nitrous kit? I think most of the single fogger kits come with a "T" that goes in the rubber line. With this braided line, you are cutting out the part the rubber line that would have been tapped into. Any suggestions or ideas? Teal?

(LOL @ myself)

Yes, they make a fitting that will thread in and look as good. About 5 minutes after I posted that question, the light bulb in my brain clicked on.

DISCLAMER - I work weird hours and had just got out of bed when I posted the question, and hadn't had any coffee at that point. LOL!

Thanks Teal.
