Fuel line routing

[RPitts]

Could anyone with the Morrison rear clip post some pictures? I am at a total stand still right now. I will post a picture of bottom of car to get some advice.

Thanks

It's hard to see but on this Art Morrison tri five chassis -- I ran it on top of the driver side frame rail (running an LS motor so hook up is on the driver side).

That's really helpful on a stub frame car.

[GregWeld]

True!

What about a sleeve (or sleeves) thru the rear crossmember? it looks like that would put the lines inside the frame rail behind the crossmember with clear path to the tank. It seems like that would be pretty clean, although it's a little hard to see in the photo because the lift pad is hiding the spot I'm talking about.

Good thinking Scott. I know AME makes crossovers for brake lines but I've not checked the catalogue to see if they make them in fuel line sizes.

Yea the pressure and return won’t work on top because of the sub frame is welded to the floor and the sub connectors are boxed as well. Good thought on the thru frame connectors that is what I am using for the break lines. Going to call Morrison to see if they have in 3/8". Thanks for the help!

They don't - nor does anyone else.


Fab up your own thru frame using STEEL fittings. Or put a "tubed sleeve" thru where you need to run your line -- allowing for the fitting to slip thru if needed for future service work.

Thanks Greg. I think that will be my only route.

it's a pia, I started from pump with about 12" of hose, Went to the seam where the rear floor pan meets the trunk pan, then straight out to passéngers frame rail. I took some 1/8 " filler rod and made a pattern down inside of frame rail goes up and over the notch for rear end in frame. then down to the back edge of rocker panel, I drilled a hole here and ran the line through, I will weld in a sleeve when I pull the car apart. Run the line through the sleeve then I have a 90 degree fitting. Then I run another line straight down the inside of the rocker pinch weld. to the front and it comes through behind the inner fender runs aprox line of lower edge of heater box. I have another fitting there that attaches to hose. The hose goes to center of firewall where I have a y block with inlet on the bottom side and 2 outlets on the top to the rear of fuel rails. I think in the whole system I have aprox 12 fittings. It is a Pain in the Azz. If you look at the Morrison Camaro they just ran hose down the frame rail and it looks like sheet. You can buy nice rubber coated clamps and run the line on the bottom of the floor close to rocker pinch weld since you have two lines. Use two clamps and one screw and it will space the lines nice and neat. If you want I will email you pics or text tomorrow when I go to the shop. Good luck

Please send pics! This has been a real challenge! I will put up some more pictures of where I think the best place to put a sleeve thru. Are you running a pressure and return line? Yes a hose would be real easy but....not the "route" I am looking for. No pun lol
