Tuning on the fuel line? Possible, but be careful!

Especially if you dedicate yourself to individual components during car tuning, you inevitably come into contact with the gasoline line. Of course, the question then arises, can you modify something here? As a rule, the built-in gasoline lines are a so-called tubular steel gasoline lines. Indeed, a gasoline line can be modified. Be it with a new material or with a completely different installation. This can also be necessary, especially if you want to make major modifications to your car.

Careful work is required

Basically, the gasoline line is an important part of a car, since it is the intermediate piece between the fuel tank and the engine. Before you start working on the gasoline line, you should know that very careful work is required here. Not that in the end there is a loosening or even a break in the line. In such a case, you would have all the gasoline (or diesel) either on the street or inside the car. We certainly don't have to list what can happen further.

lay the fuel line clean

If you want to relocate your gasoline line, you can choose in the first step what material the new line should consist of. So there is the possibility of a so-called flex cable. Such a line is available as a steel braided line, but also made of plastic. A flexible line is ideal if you want a different way of laying the gasoline line. For example, if due to one modification, the direct way is no longer possible. It is important in this context, as a rule you have to remove individual components. For example that Hitzeblech or Catalyst, Of course, this should not be forgotten later during installation. And the fuel line / diesel line should always be as far away from hot components as that Exhaust be distant. A flexible line is also suitable if you want to lay the gasoline line in the interior. This is quite possible as part of the laying.

laying through the cabin is unusual

It always depends on the vehicle and the planned destination. Although a flexible line allows flexible laying, you should be careful where exactly the gasoline line is laid. Firstly, that the fuel line is not pulled off, but does not suffer any damage in daily use. Here you have to think about laying in the interior. In general, you have to pay attention to a careful installation, so that later you will not have any problems when removing the vehicle. Although the replacement of the gasoline line is legally not a problem and does not require approval in individual cases. However, if damage occurs later due to the incorrectly routed line, this can have serious consequences.
