Is This (The BEST Budget) BRAIDED PTFE Fuel Line?

[@JohnsChevelleAdventure]

Yep, I used that kit on my 72 Chevelle. Also bought the kit for transmission lines. As you said, they are really easy to work with and great quality.

That awesome, my Dad bought a brand new 72 454 chevelle in 72, wish he still had it, I love those cars

Enjoyed the video! What will they think of next! I’m 71 and working on cars and trucks sure has changed. Thanks

Thanks for watching, I agree technology is amazing for hop up parts now!!!

Get yourself a 4x6 piece of old carpet. I use that when working/crawling underneath cars. I hate using those creepers. They sit up too high and the wheels are always stuck. I hit my head on the bottom of the car when using a creeper too. When using a carpet you stay clean and the closet concrete is not a problem. Plus the biggest plus is getting lower and not hitting my head. When the carpet gets dirty, I use some dawn dish soap and scrub it with a shop broom and let it hand dry. If it gets too nasty I toss it and get a new one. My neighbor is a carpet/floor installer and I get scrap pieces all the time from him.

Ps... When it's not needed, I just roll it up and stand it in the corner of my shop.

That's a great idea!!!

Thanks for the video! I bought a fuel line kit from Evil Energy some time back to install on my '79 Trans Am, but I have not tried to put the fittings on it yet. I was a little unsure as to how hard it was and how it would come out. Now that I have seen your video, I feel a little more confident in getting it together. Thank you for that!!

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Yeah there pretty easy do like I did and do you a little test on the end so you can get a feel for it!!!!

[@rtk1122]

Oh man! I could have used this info about six months ago before I spent a small fortune on the Holley site for similar fittings. I arrived at the same conclusion for cutting the braided tubing as you did purely from trial and error. Good info though. I’ve still got my power steering lines to do but they are bigger than 6 AN and I’ll give these guys a shot. FYI …I like (and prefer) pictures too. 😂

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Hahahaha I learn best by pictures. I'm not sure on how big they go on line size but check them out!!

[@rtk1122]

@ I’ll take a closer look after lunch but I’ll bet they’ll have the right sizes. Thanks for doing the video. Nice having an alternative to Mr.Gasket or Earl’s AN fittings.

@@rtk1122 - There are other brands of hose ends - Vibrant, Redhorse, Fragola, Summit Racing. I tend to avoid Earl's and Russel because they're a bit pricier than the others, but still AN fittings in general are pretty expensive.

[@rtk1122]

@ I’ll check them out. Thanks

Totally Awesome Who Makes Hose

[@ACDesignsGarage]

Evil enegry, it came with the kit!!

[@jsimmonstx]

I found that the evil energy fittings are pretty much non-standard where the nuts thread onto the fitting, and even the ferrules. They don't interchange with anything else on the market. I can take RedHorse, Vibrant Fragola, and even Summit Racing fittings and swap out the nuts and ferrules between fittings with no problem. Redhorse fittings are probably the best looking fittings, but I found that the RedHorse ferrules are too thick to allow easy assembly of the fittings (I've destroyed several fittings trying to tighten the nut down on the fitting), no matter what hose you use. However, I still buy the redhorse fittings and go to amazon to get a 10-pack of aluminum ferrules and everything is cool. If you insist on brass ferrules, Summit sells them in packs of two for the same price as the Amazon 10-packs of aluminum. There are PTFE hose tools available that have interchangeable posts for 3/4 AN,. 6/8 AN and 10/12 AN. They make the PTFE liner round again AND they spread the braid away from the liner to allow easy assembly of the hose ends. I recently swapped out all of the 30-year-old steel-braided rubber line on my 64 Fairlane for PTFE. It was a chore, but it came out great, and it will be a couple of decades before I have to revisit those lines. BTW, rubber hose has to be replaced every 5-7 years because they get hard/brittle and they WILL leak. Ask me how I know.

[@RichardTalbot-n2k]

Rick from ND, where did you purchase that line kit?

[@ACDesignsGarage]

The Evil Enegry branded line I have a link in the description below the video. The fuel line on the carb I got from jegs.com I think.
