Fuel line dress up?

[Alex08T]

Hi guys

Has anyone come up with a way to "dress up" the fuel lines in the MKV? I'm just not a fan of the metal line the way it looks currently. Has anyone done braided lines or a cover of some kind? Thanks in advance

I've done all braided stainless

Did you do that on a mkv? Is this something you put together or is there a commercially available kit?

Lol not you average build though Eric.
Would also love to do braided lines just not high up on my to do list.

true. I dont personally know of anyone else that has run 100% braided lines. Its not cheap (at all) and its not very easy to do either. If youre willing to do the research and you're patient it can be done

Not to mention the pain endured from ripping open yoru gfingers and hands working with braided stainless lines.
Running braided stainless lines for my catch can and w/m system was enough for me. lol

you can buy a cheap tool to assemble lines. I think its ~$30 on summit racing. Also, OP, if you decide to go for it, here are a few tips:

1. The HPFP bleed (left side of the hpfp, not the hard line side) accepts a metric to AN adapter; male to male, IIRC its an M12X1.5 to -6. I could only find it on ebay.co.uk, but double check size: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AN-6-AN6-...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2313672e32

2. The brass high pressure rail valve, aka return valve, accepts a standard -6 AN fitting.

3. Integrated engineering makes AN line adapter fittings for the flow pressure fuel pump. They will have to be modified to fit, meaning that the bottom of the fitting will have to be shaved down to clear the top of the lpfp basket. http://www.performancebyie.com/integrated-engineering-factory-vw-audi-quick-release-6an . This fitting is the same one that aeromotive makes. Its probably just a rebranded Aeromotive fitting

Yeah a koul tool is on the list of more tools I need to buy, problem is I want -4, -6, -8, and -10. They dont make a kit that contains all of those sizes =\

mo mods, mo tools, mo money, mo problems

I might look into doing the lines on the ends (left/right side) for now. Did you just buy braided line with the adapters on it?

I bought all of the lines and fittings separately, then cut and assembled everything

This looks much more complicated than I thought it would be haha, however it does look fantastic.

Woot! Thank you! I've been looking for this info for a while. :thumbup:
