 EFI fuel lines & fittingsIs it considered acceptable that I'm using rubber EFI fuel hose & clamps on an E2000 pump built for the Ford factory nylon snap lock hoses? I ran it for years that way, no problems, no leaks. But if there is a likelyhood the hose could pull off the pump, I'd probably change it out for one made for rubber hose. I just bumped into this one while reading up on Explorer EFI.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001BFOBXA/re ... 4f8fc2ef_S I'm happy leaving it as is, if I'm not flirting with disaster. I haven't read anything about mixing line/fitting types. And I know the E2000 pump has been used a lot, probably without the Ford fuel line. So I'm guessing I'm fine, and I'm just overthinking it. _________________ "America is at that awkward stage.

Re: EFI fuel lines & fittings If you've run it for years it's probably ok at those pressures. If you plan to increase pressure with an explorer returnless system you might want to upgrade it. I use the same pump on my '74 and I put a couple AN tube adapters on the fittings.

Re: EFI fuel lines & fittings Thanks, I'm only going to worry about the high pressure side of the pump. The 5/16 snap lock fitting doesn't want to thread out of the pump (and I don't want to break the pump). Did you use something like this?:

Re: EFI fuel lines & fittings I used tube adapters like this. https://www.summitracing.com/nv/parts/ear-165056erl
The one you found would be better. Tube adapters can only be installed once because they usually can't be removed. |
