[Fot] Fuel system

[ralph hansen]

 I do not recommend a steel line anywhere on a race car except between carbs - a steel line anywhere in the system could get kinked and split open in a wreck of any kind (things bend and sometimes pop back some)  - I always run a -6 braided line front to back down the tunnel, be sure to leave some extra along the way and mount in a few places, as mentioned elsewhere do not route it between bits that can trap it / never had any failures, no heat issues and never any comments from tech

  When the mechanical pump failed on my Morgan 4/4 (1600 Ford engine) all of my fellow Morgan owners recommended the Facet electric fuel pump.  I had already had my fuel tank completely cleaned and sealed.  One year later, the Facet pump failed.  I couldn't find any dirt or gunk in the fuel lines or filter.  Perhaps this was a random failure, but this time I used a different fuel pump.
That's my experience.

  I've been using the Facet cylindrical red top pumps in my TR3 for 20+ years.  I also use a Holley fuel pressure regulator.  When I re-plumped my car, after it sat for 10 years, I used the Summit Racing copper-nickel tubing from the cell (in the boot) up to the engine bay.  Added a Summit fuel filter with replaceable screen.  Braided hose (-6) from the filter to the regulator, then to the carb bowls.  Joe(B)

 Friends

I am ready to install fuel system from cell to engine on my 68 GT6 MK1. I would value any leadership:

What is best- hard line from pump to engine to engine or braided stainless?

Any thoughts on best electric fuel pump?

Thanks!
