Gas line is rubbing SC belt

[NewTekBuzz]

Anyone else having issues with the gas line that goes from drivers side over to passenger side. Mine is less than a 1/4” away. I noticed the other day it has actually got a mark on it from the belt. I don’t see a way to get it further away.
I’ll try and get a pic tomorrow.
Whipple gen 3 with 132mm TB
Thanks

What fuel system do you have on the car? I have 10-rib and my fuel lines go no where near the front of the supercharger or the belt.

Just stock fuel system and standard belt

Any chance you could post a picture? I'm still struggling to imagine this.

Yeah, out and about. Give me an hour

Just got mine installed. Id like to compare pics. Only difference is I have the 150mm

Looks different than mine.

Doesn't fuel crossover line run behind the SC against Firewall?
Or are you running two crossover lines front and rear?

Either way, a cut fuel line with pump pressure in the line will spray fuel on belt and certainly all over headers. Could be one hell of a party?

Not sure I have one in the back. I’ll have to dig up the instructions.
that’s not the kind of party we’re looking for ;)

I had to tuck mine behind the tensioner bracket (pictured), which it seemed to lay into that area very naturally. However, during install it really wanted to lay like yours is.

I agree that needs to be addressed, way too close and could end badly.

Really the only unspoken gripe I have about the Whipple kit, rubber lines with plastic quick connect ends. Braided/AN would have really put it over the top in terms of safety and looks.
