Ive got 2 options with what way to go regarding my fuel system. I can either split after the stock fuel filter or I can replace the whole lot.
How much hassle is the later?
I'm fitting a bosch 044 pump and the rail is twin feed -6an. As I understand it the stock fuel filter has a -6an female fitment so i would need a -6an male to male then a -6an to 2x -6an adapter. From there I can simply connect the rail to the adapter via 2 -6an lines. The return will be coming from the fuel regulator and I have been told the -6an fits perfectly over the return line.
Is there any issues with the above? I have bought a fitting kit for the 044 but I wasnt sure if that used the stock feed line or not?
My other option is to buy a -8an fuel filter, feed the -8an from the pump to the filter, get a -8an to 2x -6an adapter and feed the rail from that. The return would then be a -6an line from the regulator all the way back to the tank.
Is it easy to remove the stock lines and fit shiney braided ones? What will happen with the spare wheel? I want to retain the stock tank cover, spare wheel etc and I have a rather large boot build that currently sits flush. I've seen a few threads where people have had to modify their covers, is this going to be necessary if I want to run my own lines or an 044 pump?
Thanks
