    Default AE101 Fuel Line Size Help

    Hey people,

    I'm doing a 20V ST conversion into my MK1 Cortina and wondering what sizw fuel lines I need to be running

    The lines that go to the FPR are 6mm?

    I have a surge tank setup and want to run the correct lines

    Can someone point me in the right way for lines to go under the car and the size's

    Cheers

    I don't have any lines at all, starting from scratch. Does it need to be a EFI hose?

    well normally under the car you use metal lines and then join them to the tank ank engine via efi rated rubber hoses. There are places around that sell the metal lines or can do the job for you

    run hard lines because you'll get rocks and shit flick up and rupture them. +its cheaper to get hard lines.
    i was going to do the same thing with my car.
