KPM fuel lines

[bankyf]

Finally got my stock line removed this morning and will be installing the KPM 1/2” line. It definitely would have been easier to run PTFE hose and leave the stock in place. Removing the lines is not a fun job, especially with bottom mount turbos. Its hard to appreciate the size difference without seeing it.

Did you drop the fuel tank?

I had to drop the tank for the dual pump module setup. Surprisingly, after the exhaust and driveshaft were out of the way, dropping the tank was really pretty easy.

Do you think the line could be snaked out and in without dropping the tank, driveshaft, and exhaust?

I’ll get back to you on that once I have the tank back in. I didn’t really think about looking before removing it. I think your chances are much greater if you’re willing to destroy the stock line(and it will make your life significantly easier). The GT500 being two pieces will go back in easier. I have a GT500 line around here somewhere. If I can find it, I’ll try to snake it up there once the tank is back in.

I'm going to go with no. There is a lot going on at the tank end of the OEM fuel line and it's just too much to snake up there. There are also some plastic clips securing the line that you won't be able to access with the tank in. I will also say that reinstalling the tank is a lot less fun than removing it.

Do they sell that line setup separately

I know they will sell it as an add on to their lower hp pumps that don’t typically come with it, but not sure about selling it by itself.

What's the diameter of the fuel filter? It seems awfully small.
