Starting re-running all my fuel lines, and need the best way to cut that line so my fittings will turn out nice. (without the braid fraying)



Any ideas??

 

I wrapped it tight with electrical tape and cut it with a cutoff wheel on a little dremel tool I have.



Tried the hacksaw it sucked.

 

Best way is with a Beverly Shear. You can do the tape/cut-off tool method . Or use the tape sharp chisel metod. Or my favorite:



Mark your pieces and take them to a hydraulic shop to be cut

 

Thats what I do.

 

When you guys put these lines in do you use a special fuel filter or are there adapter fittings to fit these lines to the stock filter?

 

Some people use hose clamps around the braided line onto the nipple, but I think that's ghetto, and not really how the hoses are meant to be used.

 

Wrap the braided line in tape a 1/2 inch to an inch from the center of where you want to cut the hose, mark the center of tape (your cut line) and use a high speed rotary cut off tool or a metal cutting blade. Before inserting the fitting into the hose spray down with a light coat of WD-40 or other light oil. Have fun.

 

Duct tape worked best with me, holds it tighter with out strecthing from the heat. Less sticky mess than the electrical tape

 

so how did you connect the SS braided hose to the hard lines at the tank then?
