Question: 10AN or 5/8 aluminum seemless

[FC5452]

I'd like to put this out there to those that have done this before. I read through a lot of threads here on those that re plumbed their fuel systems.

I have a decent supply of An hose including enough Steel braided AN10 to run a supply from the LP to the Engine bay. My other option is to run 5/8 seamless aluminum which I would have to purchase.

I understand the stock line for the most part will be enough to supply 700 all day long, but my thoughts were, if I had it why not.

Can steel braided line be utilized and not gt gigged in a tech inspection?

The braided stainless hose will pass tech just fine.

Yep braided is perfect.

1:5 FUEL SYSTEMS (NHRA Rule book)

Lines: All non-OEM fuel lines (including gauge and/or data
recorder lines) must be metallic, steel braided, or NHRA-accepted
“woven or woven-pushlock.” A maximum of 12 inches total (front to
rear) of non-metallic or non-steel braided hose is permitted for
connection purposes only; individual injector nozzle and motorcycle
fuel lines are excluded. Fuel lines (except steel braided lines) in the
flywheel/bellhousing area must be enclosed in a 16-inch length of
steel tubing, 1/8-inch-minimum wall thickness, securely mounted as
a protection against fuel-line rupture. Fuel lines may not be routed
in the driveshaft tunnel. It is mandatory that fuel lines passing
supercharger drive belts be steel braided, NHRA-accepted woven
or woven-pushlock, or be enclosed in protective steel tubing. A
current list of NHRA-accepted woven or woven-pushlock fuel lines
is available on NHRA.com. All NHRA-accepted fuel lines must use
ends that are specifically designed for the type of fuel line being
used. No hose clamps allowed on NHRA-accepted fuel lines.

Had a tech at maple grove tell me u needed hoops running 12's good idea anyways but... I appreciate the feedback, did not want to get in a jam.
