  • Today, I finish installing the fuel system I designed for the Lightning, go over how I routed the Fragola 8000 series push-loc hose, where I mounted the Fore Innovations fuel pressure regulator, and finish everything up! I came up with and pieced together everything on my own, including all the hose/an fittings, Fore Innovations regulator, triple pump hat, fuel filter, Metco Motorsports fuel rails, and everything else that was needed to complete the fuel system! Stay tuned, plenty more to come!

    ** DETAILED Fuel System Layout, with part numbers! **
    Male 8-an Orb Style fittings for the rails (4) and fuel filter (2)
    Lets start with the feed. 1 45 degree female hose end will connect to the fuel hat, running to 1 straight female hose end that will connect to the filter. Then, 1 45 degree female hose end from filter, to 1 straight female hose end to connect to a billet Y fitting. One end of the Y fitting will be connected directly to the back of the drivers side rail with a 90 degree female-female fitting, and 1 45 degree female hose end will connect to the other side of the y block. Run a hose from that 45 on the Y block, over to the passenger's side rail, with a 90 degree female hose end, with one straight vibrant performance extension into the back of the rail. Coming out of the front of the rails will be two hoses, so 2 180 degree female hose ends go on the front of the rails, one line with 1 straight female hose end, and one with 1 180 degree female hose end, to attach to the feeds on the regulator. That should take care of feed, and the hardest part!
    For the return, 1 90 degree female hose end from regulator, with 1 straight female hose end that connects to the fuel hat.
    So in total, this is the master parts list, with part numbers -
    7 (or 4) - male orb fittings for rail ends and regulator - 495103BL (may not need 3 for regulator, check to ensure regulator comes fitted with orb fittings, if so, you only need 4 )
    2 - male orb fittings for fuel filter - 495104BL
    5 - straight female hose ends - 200108BL
    2 - 90 degree female hose ends - 209008BL
    1 - 90 degree female-female fitting - 496318BL
    3 - 180 degree female hose ends - 218008BL
    3 - 45 degree female hose ends - 204508BL
    1 - Billet Y fitting - 900608BL
    1 - Vibrant Performance Union Fittings - 10587
    -30ft of -8an 8000 series push loc hose (2 rolls)
    -Metco fuel rails
    -Fore regulator
    -Fore fuel hat
    -Fore filter/filter housing and extra filter
    20 - Hose clamps / 1 clamp tool
    -Hose cutters
    -8-an wrench if desired

    Looks good. Next time you should try out 2 pice fittings.

      Coming soon actually, I'm redoing my trans cooler lines, using two piece fittings and stainless braided hose. Figured I'd apply different fittings for different systems, so I can show how each works.

      @@DebtLife_Projects I see. A helpful tip when you get the first pice on put a pice of tape around the hose as close to the fitting so you can check for push out once assembled. Also tape on fittings before tightening will keep a scratch free finish.

    What are your thoughts on the series systems that both JLP and WMS sell? I see you went parallel so figuring you had reasons to do it that way as it is a bit harder to build.

      @@thastinger345 sorry took so long, hurricane prep in full effect lol. The in series systems are perfectly fine for most. I went parallel just for a tiny bit of redundancy, my local guru prefers it, so that's what I did. He's built record trucks so I trust his methodology. Parallel wasn't too much harder, just extra hose in the way for plug changes lol. But for most, I'd say just snag a pre built in series system

      @@DebtLife_Projects I decided to go parallel with an E85 tune option for race days. All PTFE hose, Fore hat/128mm filter/regulator/fuel rails with ID1050X injectors. 10 supply and 8 return.
      I'll feel better with a parallel system.
