Could someone post a pic of hard fuel line routing?

[Muswagon]

My Duster had a mickey mouse line run, which is now gone. I need an idea of where to route the hard line from near the tank to near the pump.

I have run lines in the past, but the Duster has some strange orientations of subframe and areas to run the line...or i am an idiot...or a combo...

Any pics would be appreciated thanks!

I have some from a 69 Dart if you think that will help. Not sure how that would translate to a Duster though. Let me know if you want them and I'll dig them out.

Should be the same, thank you!

Not sure what year or engine your Duster is.
Snapped a few quick pics from the ground of my 69 Dart big block.
(I can't get it outside or up on a lift right now, but can move it for more pics if halfafish can't).
1) Feeds from hard line to mechanical fuel pump right side.

2) Can't get to right side under engine right now.
3) Runs along right side frame.

4) Turns up into tank area just in front of rear housing bushing on top of frame. 2 pics.

5) Pic of turn taken from ground looking up.

Please be sure to enclude what year what modifications in future posts.

You know what you are working on but we don't.

The thumbnail picture of your car looks good. Post a few more pics, please.

That's a mess? One of my friends was over and asked if anyone survived the explosion.

Oh Lordy, dude. You have no idea what a mess is. Your shop is a pristine operating theater compared to mine. I have to slither sideways all over to access areas of the shop. If I put on five more pounds I won't fit at all. I should go get you some photos but I'm not sure I can do so and survive.

Here is what I have on the fuel line. It's a 69 Dart, 340. I got the lines from In Line Tube. Between what I have and what @Joey4speed posted, you should have a good idea how to route your line. I did fab up another smaller line for vapor return. I did that one by hand, copying the In Line bends more-or-less, to get it back to the tank.

Here is a shot of the tank area.

From there it goes to the passenger side, where it makes a square bend around the rear frame rail. It then follows the inner seam of the rocker.

It goes forward to where the front seats are bolted up (you can see my seat studs) and goes inboard about a foot where it wiggles up to the t-bar crossmember. It goes through there, and then up to the fuel pump.

Hopefully this helps on your Duster.

I have to rat myself out. The pics you see are the ONLY thing on the car that looks good. Everything else is a major pigsty of a project.

Just a FYI. In case anyone doesn't know about it. If making your own lines, forget steel or copper. Use the copper/nickel lines. So much easier to work with, will never rust, and will hold the required pressure (even for brakes). Just an example 1/4" (.25" O.D.) Copper Nickel brake line - Tubing Roll - Flat coil - 50 Ft. | eBay comes in different sizes, and lengths

That's the same stuff Toyota used on my '99 Camry. Still looks new!
