#48 Fire Repair Guidance

[BryanL]

I feel your pain here all too much. Have you thought about 98-02 V6 lines? It has a fuel return and the same 3/8 5/16 setup as the LT. They are routed the same as an LS1 too. I think that's what's going onto my car next. That plastic line is nothing but trouble. Once a fire starts, the line goes and just keeps feeding the fire.

Yeah I heard about yours, too. Sounds like the LS and V6 lines are almost the same. The LS has 3/8 feed and a 5/16 return which is really just the evap. Plastic would still be from the pump to the filter for both feed and return. I'll upload a picture tomorrow.

The LS has 3/8 and 5/16 in the engine bay, yes, but to/from the tank is a bit different with the filter/regulator in tank/return splice. If the early LS cars had a return and canister then that changes things. Do you have donors available or are you planning a junkyard run?

[BryanL]

I have LS lines from donor and already have them mocked on the car. For the 3/8 from the tank there is a T fitting before the filter that I will need to plug or have a regular straight through connector. The 5/16 line goes from the filter area towards the tank but makes a 90 in the area it would connect to the LT plastic line. I Think I can just straighten that 90 some or put another bend in it so it will connect to the plastic return line.

See if this works from my phone.

Here is the 5/16 return lines that need to be connected.

This is the 3/8 feed fitting before the filter that goes back to tank which I wouldn’t need. So either plug or new fitting to connect

I don't know if it helps you any but I have a spare LT fuel line set. I can bring it to Hallett
