Repop fuel hardlines

[tacocat]

Does anybody have recommendations on who makes fuel hardlines for the 40? I’m missing the return hardline, and the small section that passes through the floor grommet.

I can bend and cut my own from Nicopp or steel, but beading the end to make a barb for rubber hose and clamp is very cost prohibitive tool wise.

Thanks Racer X.

I forgot to Google custom brake lines. BTW, when are you getting domelights back in stock?

 

[tacocat]

Contacted Rainman. He doesn’t make fuel lines.

 

[Racer65]

Maybe someone can chime in. Is there any difference in making fuel lines as compared to making brake lines? If not, it sounds like an additional business opportunity for @Rainman . I get people asking for such sources all the time.

 

[Rainman]

I don't make them. I have before but it's slightly different and I was advised by a long time auto guy... "Don't make fuel lines because the requirements and regulations reguarding those systems, if something ever happened, I could be blamed with an unregulated product." That was all I needed to hear. It doesn't make up enough revenue to take that chance. Sorry. The brake lines don't make a living for me anyway. Just a side biz.

I would think stopping is as critical as going as far as liability is concerned .

Even as a product from a side business, @Rainman ‘s brake lines are skookum. Best thing on my rebuild. Fuel lines would be great, along with a few less lawyers .

Easy enough to make your own, just get you a 8MM (5/16") tube beader.... -> click here <-

Also, the 90402-13041 nut is available as well as the 96395-71400 olive.

I thought I had read on the forum last year that Classic Tube was doing fuel lines. I’ve never looked into it.

Thanks @GA Architect for the recommendation, but I believe that tool is really only suitable for aluminum and Nicopp is even too much for the tool.

@65swb45 I did come across the Classic Tube lines.

I was hoping someone had experience with them. The information on that site is terrible.

I’d recommend making them yourself. They’re pretty easy to make up, and not very expensive. I reused the nuts with new compression fittings.

I made my lines on my 71, wasn’t very difficult with new nuts and olives from Toyota. I have used inline tube for other items and have had no issues.
