Civic Fuel Line Upgrade! DIY Ethanol Safe 6an!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- Today we build and install some new -6an braided PTFE fuel lines and get rid of the crusty old stock ones! These -6an lines provide more fuel flow, and can run e85 without cracking/drying out.
This process will be very similar if you have a 90's Honda Civic, Accord, or Integra!
Everything seen was purchased through amazon!
(Evil Energy) 6an PTFE safe hose and various fittings.

You’ve been doing things that I wanna catch up on with my hatch, glad I have your channel for guidance🙌🏽🤟🏽
Happy to help!
One of my fuel lines finally gave up, and I came here to see if I need to drop the tank. So glad that I don't :P
Heck yeah
Rust belt represent!! My fuel lines are ate up, thanks for the details!!
You got it!
That is one clean engine bay. Thanks for the videos!
I appreciate it!
Where is the link to remove that plastic track. I can not get mine off
Just came from your brake line video! Great Job! This is incredible!
Thank you for the support!
Nice write up, did the same upgrade surprised you don’t have a ton more subscribers great content
It's like I pooped the bed the way my shit is slept on 💯💯💯
Great content. I m actually going to be replacing my hard lines soon too. My tuner recommended 8 an lines as I am looking to make 700 hp on ethanol. I was thinking about cutting the factory fittings to the fuel tank an using bulkhead fittings to connect the fuel lines to a hellcat pump and possibly a second pump. Keep up the great work!
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.
Just came across this channel. I am a fan already man, instant sub.
Thank you so much! I think the RUclips algorithm has been helping me out a little more than usual lately! Stay tuned we post every single Tuesday!
Awesome upload, out here in Rochester. Your car has come along nicely man, engine bay looks bonkers.
Thank you! Haven't heard that word in a while 😂
@@kraftingkars 🤣
Welcome..like new
good info
Dope video! Would you be able to tell us the size of the AN adapter to the pump fitting 5/16 or 3/8? Same for feed and return?
5-16 I learned the hard way
Return is 1/4
Mmm... i think you should of kept ur hard lines, and put in a bigger fuel pump.
There's a reason why they use hard lines from factory. Especially for low Honda's ( soft line's wont take a scrap). Content is good keep wrenching.
Na, braided is superior, hence the reason most high Performance builders use it
@@Flatout56-o8k 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.
Did that 6an quick disconnect come with the kit ? Or got it separately?
Separate, it's a 5/16 quick disconnect
❤
Appreciate the support G ☺️!
Hey man! Super happy I found this video, looking to do the same custom brake/fuel lines for my '97 LX. Wondering how much line did you need for the send/return. Was 20 feet enough? I'm planning on replacing my filter to rail line as well.
Yep! I even had a lil extra
Hi , nice video very knowledgeable, can I get the part number o description, I have a hatchback and I looking for do the fuel line upgrade too. Appreciate
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
How come you didn't opt to convert the hanger fittings to AN? I feel like that would cause a bottleneck in the system.
Although the an lines look much bigger the inside diameter is about the same as the steel lines coming off the hanger
hey wondering if you could do a list off all the parts ordered to do the fuel lines, Im looking to do that to my integra
Can I do a return set up with using barb fittings instead of an lines?
Yessir
done subcribe
Do you have parts list? How long where the lines for the fuel and return. Thanks
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.
How do the brakes feel with that soft line? do they feel softer/spongy? my brake and fuel lines are rusted out... i gotta do this...
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.
Thanks for the great video, I’ll definitely be doing this, just converted to rear disk and doing the brake lines, do you have any links to said fittings ?
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 👍
Normally I see ppl but a 8an feed and 6an return. Have you have and issues running only 6an
Nope
What fittings in the kit did u use for the lock ring
Is. It. Possible. To use 2 quick connects on the fuel. Pump. Hanger side?? Thanks @KraftingKars
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
Did you order the 10ft kit or the 20ft kit?
Nvm gotcha
So i plan on doing this, just dont have to worry about the vaccum line?
Yep, thats just used to vent the positive pressure out of the gas tank
Can I get some links for the ones you got?
Did you get a fuel pump hanger fitting kit from jb tuned?
I purchased everything from Amazon! That is a 3/8th quick disconnect to 6an fitting from (evil energy)
can you tell exactly what we need to buy to do this upgrade ?
Better leave a professional on this stuff guys,even stock cars catch on fire and burn down,double and triple check everything
What would labor cost be for something like this ?
Hmmm I'm not sure
my 99 civic fuel line started leaking underneath the car because of corrosion, how can i fix it?
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
Do u have to replace the hard line to run e85 tho? Can i just replace the ends rubber hose to e85 friendly hoses ?
Hard line should be safe! I just replaced mine since they were rotted out
Bro i plan on doing this to my 91 integra but im confused at what parts I will need for the hanger. So confused): not tryina rip this apart since i gotta drop the tank and not have everything
Approximately what length of fuel line you used? Feed and return lengths?
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
I'm in process of doing a kswap and all of my lines from fuel to brake lines are rotten but I was wondering if this same setup will work for the k series swap
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
Great video! Could you please help me out with the part number for the fuel feed line quick connect?

Hey man how much are you pushing on that? Power. I was told here in my area that you'll need new fuel lines to be support 450+ hp that true ?
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 !
I know it's been a while so maybe you wont see this but, can i use the same -6an for the return lines and if so can I run the quck connect on both the feed and return lines?
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 👍
Can you tell me what are the side or send it to me the link from where you got it
I bought the same kit and I keep getting a leak on the 45 fitting, also what would you recommend for the return line? Both are Barb fittings with stock fuel rail. Wondering if the thread tape is causing a leak
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
Do you have links for the an fitting to the fuel pump
Hello can you send me a link for the for the fitings pleased
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.
How much did this set of lines costed you ? Trying to make the same investment
It's was around 50$ for the line, and about 50$ for all the fittings
What fuel filter setup is that, which the lines are plugged into?
I have a chase bays fuel filter. And a fuelab 3 port fuel pressure regulator
Are the oem lines Teflon? If so, it's the same as PTFE.
Oem lines are steel
hey bro, I am doing the same setup on my k swap ek hatch, did u use 6an 5/16 hose for the feed and return line? I’m about to order the evil energy 6an ptfe 5/16 hose, 6an to 5/16 quick disconnect, and the 6an to 1/4 barb. That should be the correct sizes right? Sorry I like to do the research and double check before I order my parts, thanks.
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?
Is it possible to run a QD on the other fitting on the fuel pump? Also since the ChaseBays fuel line kit adapts to the hard line, would I just run the 6AN straight to the fuel filter and then the return line get a barb fitting to use with the existing ChaseBays one? Since I’m running a stock style FPR return.
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.
Can someone help I’m doing a flex fuel conversation on my 99 Crv I’m using the demon2 on my ecu but I can’t find any one doing it on the chip other then s300 please help
20 feet is enough for feed and return lines? Thanks
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!
that fuel line is good for a pump gas?
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?
How much line do you think you used? 25 feet?
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 know you said you deleted your charcoal canaster... but what are you doing with the vent line? I'm about to rip all these old rusty lines out of mine and im not sure if I should run 3 hoses? or try to delete the vent. Can I even use braided line as a vent line?
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
was this the 6an 3/8" kit?
96-00 civics use a 5/16 to 6an quick disconnect!
@@kraftingkars thanks
Hey friend do you have an Instagram I would be able to contact you on? I need some help!
