Fuel Hat Question

[Wings65288]

I couldn't get the fuel pumps off to save my life. I noticed one of the hoses was already torn so I cut it with a razor and it STILL was a struggle but I was able to remove it.

My question is what are you guys using or doing to secure this location circled in yellow? As you can see there's no way I'm gonna be able to get that hose back on so I'm gonna have to make a new hose with some sort of clamping piece.

Thanks!

I used high pressure fuel injector clamps. They look like worm gear but are completely smooth and use a bolt and nut to clamp.

Also, friendly reminder that fuel hose =/= submersible fuel hose.

BTW, those evil little bastards are pretty easy to remove with a small flat head or snipping the crimp with a pair of Dykes.

Just what I was looking for thank you dude.

Perfect thank you that makes sense.

Yup on the fuel hose. $20 a foot and you need 3 inches.

Where are you getting the hose, Napa Auto or something, good call I missed that submersible part.

The best suggestion is to get a Fore hat, unless they've changed the pump fits into the hat and seals with an o-ring.

Wow that seems like the way to go. If I can't get this to workout I'll do just that. I looked on Fore's website and they don't sell hats separately.

Last I knew they didn't sell the hat separately because they want to assemble them to insure they're correct. That's what the added cost of Fore buys you.

Wow nice looking at that now. They sell just the hat too!

I'm still thinking but I'm probably going to use 4 high pressure fuel hose clamps that @03' White Snake recommended. I really like that hoseless hat though and may change my mind. But I'm thinking if those high pressure clamps work for 03'White Snake they should work for me.

I run the older style lethal fuel hat with short pices of fuel line and clamps. Twin 465 high pressure pumps, 55psi base pressure and 25 lbs of boost. 0 problems knock on wood.

Ok nice, I'm very similar. 50 base and 30 psi.

Almost the exact same as me…..

I bought my submersible fuel hose from Advanced I believe.

oetiker clamps (stepless ear clamps) are the preferred way to make the attachment, but the fuel injector worm drive clamps are okay if you don't have any oetikers.

but make sure that hose is indeed fuel submersion rated - the parts monkeys at the chain stores don't know the difference and try to just pass off regular efi fuel hose, at least in my experience.

Ahhh that's what those are called, this is the content I'm here for. I'm gonna order those to play it safe. Thank you.
