Before you start

  • Electric arcs can ignite gasoline leading to severe personal injury or death. Do not run wiring and fuel lines together.

Procedure

  1. Route the fuel line along bulkheads and frame members so it is protected; keep entire length visible for inspection.
  2. Support and protect fuel lines to restrain movement and prevent chaffing or contact with sharp edges, wiring, and hot exhaust.
  3. Use caution with P clamps and wire ties; do not over tighten which could crush the hose.
  4. Avoid kinks by making large radius bends around corners.
