Fuel systems for drag cars

Demonracer said

We ran a Dakota in Stock Eliminator and Crate Motor classes. Our fuel cell was mounted in the bed of the truck. I wouldn't want a fuel cell mounted under the hood because if you front crash the car, chances are the cell will rupture. The fireball will be horrendous and think of where all of the fuel will be. As PBR said, #8 feed and #6 as return, and also as mentioned be careful of the chinesium crap that is out there. Only use quality fittings and line.

A 2nd on the quality line. I have replaced countless (it seems) braided rubber lines that deteriorate and leak.when I do, now, I always use teflon line. More expensive for sure, but it lasts MUCH longer, and doesn't leak!
Don't be like me, do it right the first time..... for the 414.
(Three -6 teflon lines for my Opel 454, fittings on both ends, special made by a plumbing company, cause I didn't have the tools for the teflon, total of about four feet, $140)
