erm right now since my setup on the quiksilver is a single line with the fpr under the rear bench how the feck do i get rid of all that so its more normal?

looked at josh thread and feeding the lines ok fair enough but is there any other way of doing it?

You either need to fit VTS fuel lines, or block off the return coming out the rail.

If you are thinking about turboing the valve engine, then i would fit the VTS fuel lines, as the fuel pressure can oscillate slightly, which isnit an issue when running as standard, but you want stable fuel pressure when adding a turbo.

If I was you, and you had the car with no seats, I would drop the tank down, rip out all the lines and start again. Run an inline fuel filter and just run 2 braided lines down through the bulkhead and directly into the fuel pump. Then use P clips to make it neat.

right so literally case of rip all pipes off the tank block necessary holes up, run 2 lines from the rail all the way back to the pump, put an inline fuel filter and it is all sorted?

ah ok fair enough then if it aint that hard then will do that to make it more oe. As Alex has said he can sort me all the lines from the bulkhead to the tank no problems just case of doing the ones from bulkhead to the rail ya?
