Default Fuel Line Pressure

i work in a hydraulic/machine shop and was thinking about putting a duel cp3 feed line on but thought about making a hose in the shop but i realized the fuel rail has 30,000+ psi does anyone know who would sell braided line that would hold this pressure the highest we had was 7,000psi and 60,000 hard line just cusrious also leave any comments...

BTW- adding the dual feed line only helps in rail recovery after WOT. It WONT increase your horsepower or ability to dump more fuel.

Hey Dangerous, I was wondering if you had any info to back this, not that I doubt you but i have heard it both ways and makes me curious. I have heard that does increase fueling and hp but i have also heard that it only helps the rail recover after WOT like you said. Thanks for any provided info.

probably, i know some people who i can get the bracket and the cp3 controller from, all back yard made too for a smokin deal.

ill give these guys a call when i get all the measure-ments for the cp3's and rails and price some of these lines out and maybe go all flex line.

cool thing about dmax, since they have two rails for the injection system they can have 3 cp3's
