69 Z28 Fuel line
L78 steve:
Is the metal fuel line continuous from tank rubber hose to pump? Or is there a break with a rubber hose behind the RH front wheel- body to frame rail transition then back to metal to the pump?
m22mike:
OEM was Continues one piece.

My Z has a rubber line between metal line from the tank, and the fuel pump. With the metal line bolted to the sub frame, seems to me there has to be some flexibility between it and the engine to allow for engine movement.

This is like mine and others I've seen but Inline Tube shows it as one piece. I wonder if that is how they make it with the intention of it being cut by the installer.
Would make sense for a 2 piece due to the body to frame movement.

That's the way they were supposed to be... that rubber line provides the flexibility from frame to engine. Check out the AIM UPC 6 pg C6.
PS. Inline tube also sells the rubber hose and clamps to attach both ends of the fixed hardline (from frame rail to pump and from frame rail to gas tank)... http://inlinetube.com/rubber%20fuel%20hose/FHS-301.htm
