Tubes are 3/8 as are all the fittings, in one form or other. (Posted in: Fuel system revamp)

20141023_165414.jpg 156 hits | 36.92 KB | Posted: 10/23/14 Placement. Leaning slightly forward as it isn't permanently mounted yet so the bottoms will sit a little bit higher than what it does. Also it may end up being a couple inches further back; didn't check it at the time but it looks as the crossmember ... (Posted in: Fuel system revamp)
20141023_165438.jpg 173 hits | 36.95 KB | Posted: 10/23/14 Angle slightly farther back. That red wire at the back of the torsion bar crossmember is the current, factory location for the lift pump. It doesn't look like it from the angle but the new fuel assembly is probably a good 24 inches farther back. (Posted in: Fuel system revamp)

Oh well, the 4wd on this one is for support purposes only. This is one Suburban that will not do anything off-road. (Posted in: Fuel system revamp)

20141028_183940.jpg 167 hits | 46.09 KB | Posted: 10/28/14 Cut and flared stock fuel line. We did not have the fittings; buddy misunderstood about what end I needed so I'll have my adapter fittings from Summit tomorrow. (Posted in: Fuel system revamp)

Hopefully, weather permitting I will have the front fuel line on the vehicle tonight. (Posted in: Fuel system revamp)
20141105_133405.jpg 231 hits | 55.88 KB | Posted: 11/5/14 This monstrosity of a regulator setup. So far this is what I have. I'll make a stop a Lowes to see if I can find some different brass to tighten it up a bit. Eventually I'll have a different regulator to really clean things up. Yes, that is a fullsiz...

20141106_091452.jpg 258 hits | 51.47 KB | Posted: 11/6/14 This is much better. Still ugly but nowhere near the monster of the previous setup. I can deal with this one a lot better. 3/8NPT to 1/8NPT nut out of the regulator to 1/8NPT Tee with 1/8NPT 90s on each end. Fuel pressure gauge is also 1/8NPT (of cou...

Seems fairly sturdy; I figure if I can not bend it by hand then it should survive under the hood. At least that is what I am hoping. (Posted in: Fuel system revamp)

Still need to pull the injection pump feed fitting and install a .375 fitting; not to mention the pump still needs to be wired. (Posted in: Fuel system revamp)
