playing with fuel lines

Models916,
Sure looks good, but I have one question.
With the line so close to the block, wouldn't you have a heat problem with the fuel line?
The stock fuel line on my 409 is about 2 to 3 inches off the block from the fuel pump to the crab.

I like the looks of the banjo fittings.

your fittings and tubing look good but you need to get rid of the rubber hose and clamps on the high pressure side of the fuel pump. could be a safety problem later on.

Gearhead ...you need to get rid of those crabs under your hood too

I really like the way it looks, however I'm a little worried about using compression fittings. I had a compression fitting on fuel line to the pressure regulator on my 66 and it would leak every so often. This was on an aluminum 1/2 fuel line. I'd sure hate to see that beauty all sooty.

might have to make changes
Steel line with brass compression, rubber FI line and clamp on an 8 psi pressure should not me a problem with leaking. Steel with brass on a plumbing line with water at 60 psi is not a problem. Lock tight on the threads won't work loose. Close to the head and manifold, may have to raise it up a little or insulate lower part. Thanks for the imput. Things to watch out for that I didn't think about. Sometimes you just need an outside look at things.

FI hose is good stuff. just didn't want you to have a fire at 100 MPH with that new engine.
