Ronh911 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Can steel braided fuel lines be run in the passenger compartment WITHOUT having to be encased in conduit? Anyone have a quick answer? 9.10.3.5. Any fuel, oil, or coolant lines that pass through the driving compartment must be encased by steel conduit or aluminum tube. (Flex-conduit is acceptable. Lines wrapped in aluminum tape are not acceptable.) OE metal lines in good condition, in their original location, are exempt from this rule, but encasement is still recommended. Steel braided lines are acceptable. Thanks Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgchapman Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 You answered your own question with the rules quoted. Steel braided lines are acceptable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronh911 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) It doesn't look that clear to me. I read it as you can use the braided lines, it doesn't say they don't need to be encased. So what I'm looking for is if someone has gone through tech with just the braided lines and passed.

drgchapman Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Call or email Phil McKinney, He is very helpful and responsive. We just added a surge tank and went through the same questions you are asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axxe Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Steel braided lines are acceptable. I just went through tech with steel braided lines through the compartment, no issues. Just make sure they are well secured and routed smartly to avoid chafing. Nobody likes chafing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdh136 Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I'm not driving a car with any fuel line in the passenger compartment, steel, braided, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
