Fuel Cell Questions....What fuel lines?

I've seen the tech article Jeff did at 73-87.com what I didn't see is much info on fuel lines. Can you use stock lines? Do you make your own? This maybe a stupid question but where does the return line go? Don't you only need 1 line going from the fuel tank/cell going to the pump?

Re: Fuel Cell Questions....What fuel lines?

You can use stock steel lines or braided AN lines. Most of the aftermarket cells use AN fittings so some people go with those lines. The reason for the return line is that the fuel pump has a return line on it. It's for the extra bleed off of pressure that the carb and engine won't need.

If you're using a fuel injected system you may need to look at the lines for them since they use a higher PSI pump to feed the system.
