dpuma8 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I bought 20' of hard fuel line from Summit racing and I am having a tough time trying to straighten it all out. Any tips someone can give me in order to get it straightened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beermanpete Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 You can buy a tool designed to straighten tubing. Here is an example: http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/80082/10002/-1?CT=999 Otherwise straighten it by hand being carefull not to kink it I guess.

Noddle Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 $200?!!!!! Wow. I guess I am just going to have to have lumpy gas lines under my car... Can you unroll it along the floor, or a flat surface ? I'll be finding out how to this myself soon Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.pk Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) I've heard of people driling a hole in a couple pieces of wood the size of the fuel line's OD and pulling it through the wood. Google search " straighten aluminum hard line" and you will get a few hits from random forums with varying solutions.

ktm Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I bought mine straight. Same here. I was going to buy the coils, but after 2 hours of searching "how to straighten...." I decided to buy the straight sticks as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I just put 3/8 hard line in my 240z in the stock holders inside the transmission tunnel. It was a major PITA and I would do all flex line for my next car. That gives you less connections as connections are usually where any leaks occur. On straightening the line from a coil: just take your time and straighten it by hand little by little. Your hands will be sore the next day, but it is the simplest way to do it. I got down on the floor with it and wrestled it like a snake at times. Get a case of beer and call some friends over and make a party of it. Better yet, hire a stripper to help you with it. That would be better use of $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
