Guest Anonymous Posted December 19, 2000 Share Posted December 19, 2000 Are flare fittings all the standard 37 deg? I know an is 37 deg right? What about brake lines? They the same 37 deg flare? ie. I'm wondering if I need to get a new tubing flare tool to do my fuel plumbing! Also, is there a tool that puts a bulge in the end of a tube for hose clamp type connections? And last, how did anyone make a fuel rail for their l6? Did you just buy a length of stock and drill/tap holes for barbed fittings to hook up to the injectors? Any harm in using the stock l28t fuel rail? It's 5/16 or 8mm right? I can't fathom how 8mm tube can't flow enough fuel... you could empty the fuel tank in a matter of minutes through an 8mm tube! I will need to run another fuel line from tank up to engine. So I figure if I gotta do it, why not run a big one since it costs basically the same. ------------------ Morgan http://z31.com/~morgan/s30 http://carfiche.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted December 19, 2000 Share Posted December 19, 2000 Ideal-z sells fuel rails. 159.00. Ouch. I haven't made one, but I had a design for one somewhere. I was going to use 3/4" square tubing, and basically drill and tap for hose barbs as you said. I figured I could do it and have it powdercoated for under $50 easy. The stock rail should flow enough, you are right. But it looks butt ugly. I'd much rather have a straight rail. ------------------ "Gimme Fuel, Gimme Fire, Gimme that which I desire" -Metallica Drax240z 1972 240z - L28TURBO transplant on the way! http://members.xoom.com/r_lewis/datsun.html http://members.home.net/drax77/newpage.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
