FYI,,,i used more than 10ft of my Earls Vapor Guard to feed my TBI on my '75,,, i came from top of the tank, followed factory routing to firewall, up to intake, ,,and only had 16" left after using balance to go from TBI return port to the original steel line at a location under the heater core,, and used the original steel line, as the return, from their to the tank,,,, (you may use less if routing a different way),,,teddy
If I need to buy more I'll buy more.
Appreciate the heads-up for sure!

Help!
What "fuel hose hanger brackets" should I use to mount the fuel lines to the frame and where the heck do I get them?
My EFI guy said that Home Depot should have a bag of them but I can't find anything and I don't even know what they're called.
I'm keeping all the original screws so I can mount the new fuel lines where the old ones went but I can't find the hanger / holder bracket things...
Also: Is there any reason not to just run the fuel lines INSIDE the frame?

For anyone interested, THESE work wonderfully for hanging the Earl's Vapor Guard 3/8" ID high-pressure EFI tubing: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Gardner-...7792/100130546
@ $0.84 a piece, I can't complain about the price, either. The 5/8" size is required to not compress the hose; the 1/2" slightly compresses the hoses.

Also, if it ever did leak, what a pain it would be to find, remove and fix.

Earls VaporGuard hose 20' = $93. The toughest low pressure hose on the face of the earth is Parker Pushlock hose. It's good for all types of fuel, antifreeze, oils, vacuum, air pressure lines. The 3/8 line has a 250 PSI rating. I've seen it in industrial applications that have been in service over 30 years with thousands of heat cycles. I just looked online and the first price found was $1.83 per foot, 20' = $36.60 and it comes in a different colors. It works well Earls fittings also. T
