FORE Innovations fuel system setups are some really sweet and quality kits no doubt, and I was impressed with the overall quality of the kit for sure. Installing their kit on a Whipple using Whipple rails leaves some question unanswered in their install instructions. Many have done this, and I'm sure have research and asked questions as they got to certain stages of the install, figuring it out for themselves with help from a friend or vendors. I researched and couldn't find much on details on a Whipple install, so I'll add my experience here with. FORE does sell fittings to use with Whipple rails which basically consists of two 180 fittings and two 90's that have extensions to clear the back of the Whipple. The problem is there is nothing in the manual stating really how it should be setup or the fittings oriented for a Whipple. They do however list several rail routing diagrams and one of them is the routing I used a loop system.
I took some measurement of hose I had to cut, using the layout which was suggested in the FORE manual, although it didn't say it was for the whipple fuel rails it worked well. The route was a loop, so in one rail with a crossover and out the other rail. I'm convinced this with my measurements to cut the fuel line would work with most whipple setups. Fuel line fitting and assembly works best in a vise with soft jaws, but some where done in place by hand and it does get hard at the end seating these fittings by hand even with oil on the parts. It's really nice to have a good hose cutter cleanly cut the hose in place when needed, and I got mine on Amazon for cheap and it worked well.
The diagram I've attached is how I set my rails up with the 180's up front and both tilted outward slightly to clear the heater hose and such. The rear is where the 90 with extensions already attached go, and this part is critical to have a good arch upward so that the passenger rear bolt on the Whipple can be accessed.
EDIT: Sorry for all the typo's and bad punctuation making it difficult to read. I went through and corrected many.
