length of fuel line from under bed tank to intake - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**t76turbo** · 07-26-2017, 12:18 PM

I put a Boyds welding fuel tank in under the bed and will be installing the Holley Sniper EFI soon. I need to get the fuel line ordered and dont have the ability at this moment to get under the truck and measure to get an approximate measurement of how much line I need.

So was hoping others have done fuel line from an under bed tank to the carb location and could share how many feet you needed. I need a return line as well so I will just double plus a little the number I come up with.

Thanks in advance.

I'm sure you know but a tape measure is your best bet..tank location and routing will differ on different trucks..what might work on mine may not work on yours..with that said I just ordered -an hose for mine from summit. ..I think I got the 20ft length but I can't remember..and i had some left over...you using hard line or -an?

I definitely know it wouldn't be exact. My truck is just not in a place where I can get under it at the moment. If I don't get any good estimates then I will just measure what I can and hope for the best. I am pretty sure I can get close.

I am using braided AN line. Was thinking Earls (I guess it is part of Holley) Ultrapro black braided line.

that's kinda the approach I had to...I just rough measured mine and then ordered the next size up in length..they sell it in different lengths..like 5, 10, 20 and such..

On my long bed doing the boyd tank and a sniper I used the 20 foot lengths of hose. Had about 3 feet left over.
