Question about fuel line size?

**allthrottle** · 02-17-2010, 06:19 PM

I've never done much research on the restriction of fuel line: maybe some of you can help me out a little bit...

Ex. My car N/A, would -8 be enough from the cell to the carb be enough?

EX. 2... The designated fuel system, would -6 be enough for just the n20 system?

What pump are you running? Calle Aeromotive and a few other companies and they told me to go with -10 feedline and -8 return. Running an A1000 pump. was told that can handle motor andnitrous. That's my .02

I have been looking at the A1000 pump lately, anyone have anything to say about it?

ive actually ran 1 -8line with a yblock for both motor and nitrous. with a aeromotive ss pump. we only sprayed like 200 with it like that and it was fine. put the fuel cell and pump in front after that. that is the cell you bought mark.

I run one on my car. No problems, but haven't put the bottle on yet.

I've heard good and I've heard bad about the A1000's. To be totally honest, I've seen guys going in the bottom 9's with Holley Blues. Im not to worried about my fuel pumps. Just haven't seen many conversations about fuel line size. I figure -8 should be perfect for N/A and having a seperate system -6 should be more than plenty feeding the fuel solenoids.

Thanks guys for the input.

i ran a A1000 in my vert , it worked great for a short time ! after a few months of use the preshure would vary ...and it started getting louder ......imo those pumps are not worth shit...

if i remember right steve had problems with his also

and holly blue ftmfw!!! until i can spend $$ on good shit...

as far as fuel line , step it 3 times...(2 at least)

example , 10 tank to pump , 8 pump to reg , 6 reg to carb ...
prolly on the small size but you get the idea

i have -12 cell to pump and -10 going to fuel log and -8 going to carb and -6 going to nos supply!

using 1 pump (products engineering 500 pump)

I have a holley blue on the car now but am worried about it being enough to supply both motor and n2o. I would like to just buy one pump for a long time and only want to buy it once! Quick your statement above, were you talking about the A1000?

I would stay away from A1000. I have now heard more bad about them than good.

A buddy today talked me into the A2000, He said his has had zero issues and it would be the last pump I would ever buy. Good enough for me, beats buying two blues or blacks.

aeromotive billet ss pump. You can get a bg400 that would support alot. I ran 2kits and motor off 1bg400. I ran the anialator(sp?) last year with no problems. But went to a magnafuel 500 now.
