got some fuel hose thats 100psi and wondering if its enough for the 2 lines at the fuel filter??

googling around and im seeing hose thats in excess of 500psi so im trying to avoid a messy engine bay.

to be safe lets say the car will be running just over 25psi

thanks

I'd give it a miss, go a minimum rating of 250psi.

why whats the point?

as a general rule of thumb hose will hold at least 20% (from memory) more pressure than it's rated to.

100psi fuel hose will be more than adequate, just make sure you use some decent hose clamps and not those stupid wire things most jap cars seem to use.

EFI Hose is rated to SAE30R9 standard.

So many people flog of normal carby fuel hose SAE30R7 as EFI hose, so be careful.

Difference is SAE30R7 working pressure is 50psi and min burst pressure of 250psi.

SAE30R9 working pressure is 125psi and min burst pressure of 900psi.

You should always buy hose to the SAE rating, not to mention the materials and layers are different between the hoses as well for intended duties.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
