fuel line bead
Is it necessary to put a bead on the metal fuel return line where the rubber hose joins at the bottom of the firewall? I would usually however i only have 3/8" and 1/2" pipe beaders, not the 5/16" one that i'd need for this job. Being a return line it is not under as much pressure as the feed line.
Wanted to get the fuel lines finished tonight, ordering a 5/16" pipe beader will take weeks. Last edited by ghetto3; 08-10-2013 at 12:05 AM. |

Good stuff. But yes you should. even if at idle it's only on couple of bar, it's still got enough force and you will find it would leak.
It's a funny thing when some people GO EFI and think oh it's not the main line so it don't need to worry or the like. but they get a constant leak. they only find after letting it sit at idle for some time |
