I've searched through 34 pages and found nothing. I am getting ready to hook up my cartech fmu and I am trying to find any pics or information on replacing the stock 2.4 fuel lines under the hood with stainless lines. I also am trying to decide what to do about tapping the fuel rail with fittings on the feed side. I want to keep my accel fpr but think it might not be possible with the fuel fittings. Throw me some ideas guys.
i personally havent seen anyone use strictly all fittings. I wouldve liked to do that also. I ended up just cutting the hard lines and used rubber lines with a sleeve kit. the only stainless line i have is from my afpr to my gauge.
do you have any pics whiteboy???
also listening on this. I don't trust my fuel setup anymore and would love to upgrade everything . Braided lines would be a must.
Equipt with Replacement for Displacement components
Fetter is the only person that comes to mind with SS braided lines.. I wanted to try this as well.

thanks john....I would like to modify my stock rail with earls fittings and run stainless lines like you have. What did you do back near the firewall with the stock connections???
I cut (
PLEASE USE A TUBING CUTTER) the factory hard lines about 6"-8" back from where they start to bend and go up into the engine bay. Then you can go to the hardware store and buy a 5/16 (return line) and 3/8 (supply line) compression fitting with either a male or female pipe thread on the other end. Then use a -6 and a -8an flare to pipe thread adapter to hook up your braided lines.
Or Jegs offers an adapter for the 3/8 line (but not the 5/16
). Part number 555-100550 (female) 555-100551 (male).
It'll look something like this when your done...

Mine is a little easier
There is no wrong or right way to do this as what Gary, Fetter and I did will work.
I bought AN fuel adapters from Pure Choice Motorsports. You need part # 5800. Once you get the stock hose off the hardline at the firewall, these just snap in place.
Pure Choice LT1 line adapters

I knew there'd be some kind of Slicktastic connector somewhere.

did you have the fuel rail tapped?
^^My fuel rail is tapped.
So Jason, that picture you just posted, where the plastic clips are is that where the stock fuel lines cilp into at the fire wall? Then on the threaded end is where you connecto your an fittings and braided hoses right?

Yes. You put the plastci clips on your hard line first, then you snap the AN adapter next. It is tough to tighen it from the top, I had to tighten my fittings from under the car

Thanks again John and Jason for posting pics. What did those run you Jason? And has anyone removed the stock fitting on the feed side of the fuel rail??? The one I have on my car right now will sometimes leak until I lightly tap it with a hammer and it gets pushed in tight against the rail. I would like to remove this piece completely and just install an earls fitting in there like John has on his venom rail.
where did you find your turbo manifold?????????????????????????????????? john 317
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE, i have already died once and im still here so lets just leave it on the track
Gary, where did you mount your AFPR, and which model is that you have? Asking becuase i know there is only one that fits our 2.4's
Thanks all for the information.

I moved the FPR to the other end of the fuel rail. Click the 3rd pic. above and look at the lower right hand corner. I had to get on the lathe and spin an alum. piece to adapt and move it out from under the bracket for the S/C.
Aeromotive part #13105
I used a -6an 90* swivel fitting to go under the power steering pump.
There's alot more room around that area now without the S/C.
Turbo manifold is one of the Johnny Mac headers.

jason those adaptors are awesome, hopefully those would work back at the tank lines, my setup is just regular brass compression fittings with the adaptor npt fittings over to the an stuff, my new setup im running 1/2" hardline -8 for the supply and 3/8" hardline -6

Jason, you got pictures of your setup at the fuel rail? Im trying to keep my FPR at the stock location, but im having trouble on how to run SS lines up to the stock return line location ..
Thanks.

Yes, I have pics of my fuel rail setup at home. The issue is my fuel rail is kinda of custom. It has a custom fitting welded to the end to allow me to use an AEM FPR in place of the stock piece. From the AEM piece I used a 90 degree -6AN and a 90 degree swivel fittings and ran the return line next to the fuel rail

Ahh ok, yea post pics when you can.
Looks like im not going to be able to use the stock fpr unless I cut the return line right under the rail, flare it out and attach AN fittings on the hard line..
Btw, Gary that FPR you have, will it fit on that right side of the rail without modification? I know you said you had to use the lathe, but that was only because you had the S/C bracket in the way right? I wont have anything in the way on that side..
