Civic Fuel Line Upgrade! DIY Ethanol Safe 6an! 

Happy to help!

Heck yeah

Thank you so much! I think the RU-vid algorithm has been helping me out a little more than usual lately! Stay tuned we post every single Tuesday!

Thank you for the support!

I appreciate it!

Where is the link to remove that plastic track. I can not get mine off

It's like I pooped the bed the way my shit is slept on 💯💯💯

Thank you! Haven't heard that word in a while 😂

@@kraftingkars 🤣

Welcome..like new

Sounds like a good idea to me! I think JBtuned makes a kit for that!

@@kraftingkars I will check them out. Thank you so much.

Yep! I even had a lil extra

5-16 I learned the hard way

Return is 1/4

I purchased them all on Amazon, evil energy and vibrant are good brands. Just search up -6an ptfe hose fittings. They come in all shapes and sizes

@@kraftingkars thank you. I have all vibrant on my infinity when I did the fuel system

@@Top-G35 good stuff 👍

All the parts I purchased from Amazon. Using -6an ptfe fuel line and -6an fittings. One -6an to 1/4 barb fitting adapter for the fuel return line. And one -6an to 5/16 fuel line quick disconnect for the feed line. I recommend brands such as vibrant and evil energy

Yessir

It's gonna be very similar, the chassis setup should be exactly the same. Only difference will be how you connect to your fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator

I had 25ft if 6an ptfe line, and 2 ft of the 1/4 rubber hose. The fittings will be different depending on your setup.

I purchased everything from Amazon! That is a 3/8th quick disconnect to 6an fitting from (evil energy)

Separate, it's a 5/16 quick disconnect

My brakes feel great, my brake lines are braided steel with PVC coating. Yes they are flexible but no they do not expand under pressure.

I don't believe you can run a qd fitting on that return barb, the way that line is flared you wouldn't be able to slide a qd fitting all the way on. Yep! Sounds like your plan to run 6an to your fuel filter should work, as long as you have a 6an fuel filter or are able to adapt your own threads. And yep you can use a 6an to barb fitting adapter to hook up to your stock fpr rubber fuel return hose

@@kraftingkars yea for sure. Just got the ChaseBays kit. And realize I spent to much.

Nope

Na, braided is superior, hence the reason most high Performance builders use it

@@donovancook8218 sure...

Thanks for the feedback! I have a walbro 450 wired with a dedicated relay in the tank now. I am kinda worried about bottoming out on the lines, luckily the car doesn't sit very low and I put the OEM cage track back on!

@@Jason-nk4yr you don't know what you're talking about so keep it to yourself. These cars have a plastic cage over the fuel and brake lines. If you're low enough to scrape either you're an idiot and you'll probably die when you lose brakes.

Yep, thats just used to vent the positive pressure out of the gas tank

The barb fitting for the return line is a little different in size which is why I used a 1/4 rubber line, then adapted that to 6an where it runs under the car 👍

Although the an lines look much bigger the inside diameter is about the same as the steel lines coming off the hanger

I believe you can only use the 5/16 to 6an quick disconnect on the feed. And 1/4 id hose on the return. After that you can adapt them however you like

@@kraftingkars thanks for your help bro and for the video too

I would just buy the entire line front to back and swap it out. Using an oem style hardline. If it's corroded in one spot, it's probably not to far off from leaking again

Oem lines are steel

I have a chase bays fuel filter. And a fuelab 3 port fuel pressure regulator

I would order at least a 25ft roll for the feed and return just to be safe. And as you can see in the video a portion of my return line is 1/4in rubber hose

The fittings needed will be different based on your setup. But I sourced everything from Amazon. The 6an ptfe is made by vibrant. And the 6an hose ends are made by evil energy, you can find they come in many angles.

Yep looks good! I believe it was 5/16!

Im doing my research and been watching your videos, I really wanna go with the same setup cuz it looks so clean and well done but are the fittings and everything the same for am eg hatch?

Update: the 45 no longer leaks, just had to crank the ever living fuck out of it, but still unsure what to do for return line, tried just using band clamps on the hose but that didn’t really work so well

an fittings do not require thread tape, they make their seal by using a 37 degree taper, similar to a flared brake line. Just make sure you got them nice and tight and the tapered mating surface is clean👍 with barb fittings a ethanol safe rubber line will work just fine👍

@@kraftingkars so your saying run a rubber line all the way back? I guess that would work for now till I can upgrade the filter, also what’s that filter you have? I’ll save the braided line for when I upgrade

Hmmm I'm not sure

Making 408 to the wheels now. Stock fuel lines would probably be ok as long as you had an upgraded fuel pump wired to a dedicated relay. If you're looking to go 400+ I would recommend upgrading your lines, that way you can make them e85 rated, running e85 is safer at that power level as well.

@@kraftingkars oh okay thank you man I appreciate the info !

It's was around 50$ for the line, and about 50$ for all the fittings

Yep! I ordered 25 ft just to be on the safe side

@@kraftingkars your quick connect is a 5/16 or 3/8? Thanks

@@Rxb_k24na 5/16 I believe!

Yep, safe for regular pump gas as well as e85. The inside of the hose is made out of Teflon

@@kraftingkars where did you get those break lines And fuel lines?

96-00 civics use a 5/16 to 6an quick disconnect!

@@kraftingkars thanks

Yep, ordered 25ft just to be safe had a little left over. But that's good to have if you make a mistake, or could use it on other projects

@@kraftingkars awesome. Thanks! I’m in the process of building a fuel system for my ej8 and was curious. Thanks man!

I deleted the canister, removed the entire vent line, and left the evap purge valve plugged in by the gas tank with no line connected to it
