That may have been me. I was able to figure out the thread pattern
(standard fittings). Although later 3's had a 'hose' connector between the
tank line and the next one, I did put in a compression fitting. I also put
a shut-off valve before a fuel filter before the pump (it is along the
chassis rail just before it comes into the engine bay). I had already
purchased a filter for the 1/4" line by the carbs, but may not install it
now. Seemed to make more sense to filter it before the pump.
Some one had asked about the clips to hold the fuel lines as the ones
recommended by TRF are too small. Moss has a 5/16 'P' clamp that seems to
work. P/N 181-550

Subject: [TR] TR3 fuel lines
Last week someone asked about fuel line fittings. I gave an answer based
on my vague recollection. I think this was based on the TR6 configuration
and was not valid for the TR3. I was digging up some more of my TR3 parts
and
I came across what I believe is the fuel line and it has compression
fittings at the tank and at the splice at the midpoint.
Once again, my car may not be configured as per the factory, there was a
DPO but the lines look old enough to be OE.
