Which hose for fuel line?

[ZacMaster]

2.4 NA with a fuel filter.

These parts were supplied. The tube goes into my fuel filter and the other fitting attaches to my fuel rail.

But when I get my nylon tube out, it doesn’t fit over the barb.

I saw somewhere else that Lonny said the nylon 12 was used for the fuel line, but I have nylon 8mm.

Was I supposed to get 12? What are other people doing?

Nylon 12 is the material, not the tubing diameter.

I used 3/8" 30R9 fuel line though.

That is tubing for the vacuum line for the brake booster. I believe you will need to buy some 3/8” high pressure fuel hose.

I think you can actually use that as your fuel line, but you've got to heat up the ends in order to let it slide over. Most of us skipped this step and used some fuel line or AN lines. You can get some fuel line at your local auto parts store by the foot. Take your ends in for reference but I think its either 5/16 or 3/8 line. You'll need to buy fuel line hose clamps as well.

Here is what I did: http://dfkitcar.com/forum/index.php?threads/mannys-city-goblin-07-ss-sc-donor.559/page-9

That is also fuel line. Need to heat the tubing and press the ends on. when it cools no clamps are necessary. It is not easy to do.

Gotcha. Good to know. How did you heat it?

I think what most people were using boiling water.
Able to heat all sides, inside and out without melting it.

You can also use a heat gun, but you have to be careful not to overheat it. Also, don't heat up too long of a section. It will kink very quickly and easily if you do. Wear a glove, grab it as close as you can to the end, and push it on from as straight as possible.

I have something similar to that.
