Fuel line solutions for "clipped" IFS trucks?
I was wondering how other folks on the forum got around the issue of running fuel lines around headers, boxed frames, and other obstacles to deliver fuel up to the engine. I am running the stock mechanical fuel pump on the engine. The front IFS is 77' Camaro with a factory hole for a fuel line to pass through the upper engine crossmember. I would love to see pics of how people are routing their lines. I'm worried about routing near the headers and it might look weird running a line directly on top of the frame. Hhhmmm..........thinking about my options at this point. Any input would be greatly appreciated

Anyone running their fuel lines under the frame?

I personally wouldn't run it under the frame. I see nothing wrong with it on top.

I agree with Kim, not under the frame and if it's too close as the picture shows running in on top of the frame would just fine..

Re: Fuel line solutions for "clipped" IFS trucks?
Thinkin' thats my only solution. Have you guys seen fuel lines ran on the top of the frames much? I thought it might look bad when I pop the hood. My biggest concern is safety and making sure heat does not get too close.

I don't think it will look bad if the install is done nice and clean.
I have some of my hydraulic lines run on top of my frame and it doesn't bother me one bit. Kim |
