What is the best material for fuel lines?

The best fuel line material depends on your needs. However, the best material for fuel lines is polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE. PTFE fuel line is made of plastic material specifically known as Teflon. This fuel line material is impervious is resistant to the degenerative fuel effects which could form vapor barriers.

What is the best metal for fuel line?

Most cars come from the factory with Metal Lines because they hold up better than any soft material. They are usually made from stainless, aluminum or coated steel tube. Metal is the best material for fuel lines. However, it can be difficult to fabricate.

How much horsepower will a 5/16 fuel line support?

If you're just cruising around with a carbed SBC, you'll probably be fine with a 5/16" line up to about 500 HP because you'll never tax the system enough to starve the motor of fuel.

Is braided fuel line better?

Braided hose provides better heat dissipation and better flow, which is important when choosing performance car parts. Additionally, braided lines are able to withstand more pressure than rubber lines. When you need a flexible hose, you may not be able to use metal.

Are braided fuel lines safe?

Modern fuels have additives that harden and deteriorate traditional rubber hose including stainless steel-braided hose. This leads to potentially dangerous leaks and weeping.

How much horsepower will a 3/8 fuel line support?

A 3/8”id fuel line can easily support 600 HP given sufficient “pump head”! Given a big enough pump a 3/8” steel line could support 1000 HP. The simple way to know is to install an electronic fuel pressure gauge.

Does fuel line size affect pressure?

Shows the relationship between measured pressure drop as a function of flow rate, for four different fuel lines (two different sizes at two different lengths). Every fuel line experiences pressure loss depending on fuel line length, and fuel flow rate.

How much HP will a Holley black support?

The Holley Red pump flows 97 gph and supports 425 hp, while the Blue pump flows 110 gph and supports 550 hp. Stepping up to the Black pump yields 140 gph and 750 hp.

Can your fuel lines be too big?

Actually you can have too big a fuel line...if the line is too big and your car accelerates hard yet you don't have a massive fuel pump, you will have the additional weight of the fuel in the line pushing back and fighting the fuel pump which can cause cavitation.

Does length of fuel line matter?

Does size really matter when it comes to fuel lines? According to the fuel delivery system experts at Fuelab, it does. It's because fuel line size and length have a direct effect on the amount of fuel pressure drop your fuel system will experience.
