Aight guys,
I have had the bottle neck fix on my car for about a week. Well last friday i was running at the track and the fuel line i have coming off the pump popped inside the tank.
I used 5/16 Goodyear Fuel Injection hose with the blue nylon in it. And it still popped. So i pulled the tnk out yesterday to see what happened and i found the hose split in 3 places on the push lock fitting right on the bulkhead of the pump. So after close inspection i realized that I'm stretching the shit out of the hose on the fitting. Pulling the nylon out. So i decide to step up to a 3/8's fuel injection hose. It slide right on to the fitting and i clamp it down no problems. Put it on the nipple on the pump and tighten it down with a clamp(yes i know i had to crush it pretty good to get it to seal) So i do on a test drive all is good. Well im on my way back from a test drive and the damn thing blew again. Nothing like cruising down 285 and not being able to accelerate or barely maintain speed because the engine is starving for fuel. I know the hose in the tank blew again.
So my question is this. What brand of line are you using in the tank, and what kind of clamp are you using. I'm using the regular worm gear style. Gonna upgrade to some t-bolt clamps when i do the repair again. Also should i go back to the 5/16ths hose and just force it on the fitting then clamp it down? Or stick with the 3/8 and clamp the shit out of it on the pump.
