    Quick braided PFTE Fuel line question.

    Can this line be used with barbed banjos , or is it specifically for an-type clamp connectors?
    I thinking of using if around the avant fuel filter area, and then connect it to the flaired kunifer lines ?

    Am I going about it incorrectly? Should I stick with rubber braided fuel line ?

    Typo in title sorry (PTFE)

      When I fitted it on mine and Vas's car

      I used one of these on the PTFE hose


      AN -6 (AN6) STRAIGHT Steath Black Teflon Hose Fitting



      And then screwed in one of these

      AN -6 (AN6) Male To 7- 8mm Hose Barbed Fitting in Black



      And then used a small length of rubber hose and 2 jubilee clips to join from PTFE to the top of the tank

      Pictured here is the original


      Pictured here is the PTFE


      However to cut down on joints and having the fuel filter in a rubbish place we also used one of these....

      And it gives a better flow rate too. And can be washed out and re used.

      AN 6 (AN6) Black Anodised Billet Fuel Filter 100 Micron



      The filter was then mounted in the engine bay for easy access

          How long of a hose did you end up needing to go from the sender to the rail?

            I have run my fuel lines in a different direction to stock, so you would need more to run the standard route.

            I would guess 11meters should just about see you with enough and a little spare.

              11 Meters sounds like alot from the sender to rail. I'm only upgrading the send hose not the return. Which route did you use?

                The 11 meters was from tank to rail and back with a little spare.

                The route I have taken is from tank to front of car without crossing over from left to right and right to left underneath.
