Fuel Line Position

Hey Everyone just trying to work out whether the fuel line should go under or over the pedal shafts in the tunnel.

Refer to my last post in this thread

mine goes over in rubber been in there for 3 years

If you are fitting a new fuel line into the tunnel you may need to comply with the ADRs which require that the fuel line must be connected/held firmly to the body/chassis ever 30mm.

When I fitted the new fuel lines into the tunnel of the SR I put them, (it's a fuel injected engine, so I needed two) inside medical quality clear plastic tubing, to make sure that they don't rattle or rub on each other and I supported them every 30mm or so.

I fitted them high in the tunnel, so that I could get brackets to them, so I went over the pedal shaft. Also inside the plastic they wouldn't fit under the bracket inside the tunnel near the pedal shaft or under the pedal shaft.

i have 2 x 8mm rubber lines inside the tunnel


if i was doing from scratch and had the body off i would do in metal and tac weld to the tunnel

I, curious, how do you secure a fuel line every foot inside the tunel?

Cut access holes in it?

Cheers

30mm is very close together, are you sure it isn't meant to me 300mm (or 30cm)?

When I put the new one in the pan last weekend I cut a single access hole under the handbrake where the factory fuel line tab is.

But if I was doing it and had to support it every 300mm I would drop the entire bottom plate off like i'm doing with my buggy floorpan,

Where can I buy some of this 5/16 or 3/8 steel fuel line on a roll like yours.

Mine's 1/4 I think. And I just bought a whole roll from Repco. They sell lengths off the roll. My dad works there so I asked him to order me in a whole new roll. It was about 7.6m I think.

Should that read 30cm and not 30mm.
