fuel line

One wonders if you were to show up at an NHRA track with your modern EFI rig and the stem--to--stern plastic fuel tubing, not to mention the tank itself, how all those rules sit.


[FONT=&quot]Lines: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]All non-OEM fuel lines (including gauge and/or data[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]recorder lines) must be metallic, steel braided, or NHRA-accepted[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“woven or woven-pushlock.” A maximum of 12 inches total (front to[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]rear) of non-metallic or non-steel braided hose is permitted for[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]connection purposes only; individual injector nozzle and motorcycle[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]fuel lines are excluded. Fuel lines (except steel braided lines) in the[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]flywheel/bellhousing area must be enclosed in a 16-inch length of[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]steel tubing, 1/8-inch-minimum wall thickness, securely mounted as[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]a protection against fuel-line rupture. Fuel lines may not be routed[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]in the driveshaft tunnel. It is mandatory that fuel lines passing[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]supercharger drive belts be steel braided, NHRA-accepted woven[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]or woven-pushlock, or be enclosed in protective steel tubing. A[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]current list of NHRA-accepted woven or woven-pushlock fuel lines[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]is available on NHRA.com. All NHRA-accepted fuel lines must use[/FONT]
