OEM Gas Tank Fittings Options

[Malek]

No longer need the depth haha

If any of you guys know the size of the fuel line and fittings at the fuel pump, that would be much appreciated. I want to just make an extension with the same size hose and correct fittings.

Purpose: Sizing up fuel cells

Thanks guys!

It's been a while cant remember exactly, but I think it's just the same flared fittings used for brake lines (trucks, not celica size) so you could take them off and go to autozone or something and look through the brake fittings.



Just curious why do you want a fuel cell?

Sounds good. Figured that'd be my best bet.

But the GT4 gas tank I got with my rear clip was destroyed by the forklift and I didn't want to try and make that gas tank fit anyways..I think you had issues with trying to fit it as well..I know someone did haha

AWD conversion..

Yep, fuel cell is the way to go for awd. Everyone thats never done it says you need a GT4 fuel tank!! I spent extra on it and found it to be a complete waste.


Anyways, as far as fittings I ran all AN lines through the inside of the car so I didn't have to match up with the old fuel fittings. Do you have the fuel cell already? I know mine had to be FIA certified, so my options are limited. But i'd pick out a fuel cell before you start worrying about the lines, depending what you buy the pickup and pump may need to be different.

Ah. I see.

But yeah, I have a few picked out. I just need to see which one dimension wise will be best. All the fittings are -8 AN and I was thinking of running an extension from the stock pickup and return lines (with size adapters) to the fuel cell.

Fuel Safe Race Safe

I don't need it to be FIA certified. At most, I'll take the car out to a few open lap days at High Plains.

Also, I still can't see the pictures in your build thread (page 1-18ish). I've tried a few different computers and browsers. It's for sure not a work filter haha

EDIT: Nevermind. I did some Facebook creepin and found the pictures I was looking for haha You have friend request.
