Default Fuel line question
How much psi does braided steel fuel line hold? I was thinking it would be way easier to use it from the ip to injectors an look cooler too. But got to thinking why haven't I heard of any one else doing it?

Ip runs 4000psi and the braided lines (IF they hold, but they wont) will "breath" and injectors wont pop. even the steel lines breath some. put your hand on them while its running.

if you look around you could probably find a place to make some for you, but to hold the pressures they are probably going to be spendy
