LS Racing Fuel Lines Now Available

[DMoser]

Hey Everyone:

The LS lines are finally done and we're now taking pre-orders to gauge how many to make for our first run.

Since it's a new product, we'll set pricing at an introductory $119 shipped through the end of July, $129 thereafter. The kit includes both the fuel and evap lines and GM quick connect adapters. This is a 'plug and play' setup, no modifications are required to the stock fuel/evap system.

If interested, shoot us a PM or email to: md@eaaengineering.com and we'll get you set up.

Here are some pictures of the OE and replacement race lines:

Thanks for all the PMs, guys! We'll do our best to keep up with the demand.

These specific lines are synthetic rubber however we can get PTFE tubing. Same thing as Teflon. Just can't call them Teflon because DuPont owns that name. The internal diameter may be different with the PTFE tubing.

Nice! sending you email to get a set!!!! are they ready to ship? Getting ready to run car again at PONTIAC NATS in Norwalk so would be sweet to have (b4 testing)and i won't have to make my own!!!!

Just to add to Brett's response.

Teflon is really only needed in cases where you're dealing with temperature and/or pressure extremes: brake lines, power steering, oil, nitrous, etc. The synthetic hose we're using is fully compatible with all fuel types. Like he said, we can offer it if someone really wants it, but the stock fuel system doesn't require it by any means.

Thanks all for your interest! -Dave

I think Sean is concerned with the smell seeping its way through the lines more so than anything.

Is this some thing I need to worry about? I see Brett has edited his initial response to Sean. I ordered these lines based on the initial response.

Sorry about that, Larry - I forgot that we had to switch suppliers from the PTFE line we were initially using for development to the synthetic rubber.

I've had my lines on for about a month now and haven't noticed any gas smell. This is something I have been very conscious of. I haven't stuck my nose on the line to take a whiff but I have been doing a lot if underhood work without noticing a gas smell.

Cool, thanks Brett..

correct

a month is not enough time. the deal is with the amount of ethanol in the fuel today it slowly eats the lines a little and starts permeating the smell of the fuel through it. i am currently dealing with this issue which is the whole reason why i ask. i am switching to the synthetic hose and now buying my fuel by the drum with no ethanol so this doesnt happen again. the only way to prevent this is to run PTFE or Teflon line which i have been told you need to run different fittings than your normal AN hose fittings. which is exactly why im not switching and just changing fuels because it will cost me over 500 to replace all my fittings very easily.

sorry but isn't original lines rubber? or do you have to worry about special fuels?

the original lines are mostly hard aluminum line with small pieces of rubber connecting other hard lines. you will never notice it in such a small amount of line.

Thanks for the info.

What brand/type of hose are you noticing the smell with? Like I said, the synthetic racing hose we're using is rated for all fuels, including all Ethanol blends. It shouldn't be an issue.

Most PTFE hose uses steel ends. Some are available with aluminum ends, but like you said very expensive...especially given two of the hose ends in our design are 45 deg.

We should also mention that we're using the safety type GM quick connects w/the screw on retainer on both ends of the fuel line. This adds just a little cost into the equation vs traditional connects but ensures there is no chance of them popping off.
