Electric fuel pump (what are my fuel line options?)
My new engine is coming with electric fuel pump and I was going to order pre-bent SS fuel lines like the originals but since it's electric the pump is going to be in a different location.
I'm about to order the original pre-bent fuel lines but want to make sure I'm not wasting my money.. I'd like to run SS line and would be curious to know what are my options? Thanks, Mike

Re: Electric fuel pump (what are my fuel line options?)
What type of fuel pump? What motor? Where is your tank? What line size requirement? Is there a return line? There are a ton of different configurations, but I've never had an electric fuel pump come with a motor unless it's a whole LSx setup, then it will be an in tank pump.

Re: Electric fuel pump (what are my fuel line options?)
The guy I'm getting my engine from is including an electric fuel pump kit, but I'll have to install it. I'm supposed to get those answers to the questions above in the next 20 minutes. It's a 350 motor on 1972 K5 blazer and the gas tank is mounted underneath the bed. I had 36 gallon tank on but, going back to the 21 gallon tank they sell on GMCPauls.

Re: Electric fuel pump (what are my fuel line options?)
You can use factory lines up to the engine compartment, but since you won't be running lines to or from a mechanical pump it's kind of a waste. You can bend your own lines keeping them away from heat sources and put your pump wherever you want.
