#225178 laslet (User) Can we go now? Fresh Boarder Posts: 78 Relocated fuel pump concern 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Hi guys. So over the weekend I did the fuel pump relocation with lots of help from the tech pages and previous posts. Fantastic!! I love ...But, I'm a little concerned about the fuel line going to the carb. I had to run it awefully close to the rear cylinder head and all that heat and rubber makes me a little uneasy. Can I rap it in something or sheild it somehow? Should I be concerned?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #225180 ultrastar (User) Keep The Speedometer Side Up Platinum Boarder Posts: 2937 Re:Relocated fuel pump concern 2 Years, 8 Months ago   laslet wrote: Hi guys.

I used the long spring on the fuel line for the problem   Logged     Keep The Speedometer Side Up http://s366.photobucket.com/albums/oo105/ultrastar1/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #225193 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2585 Re:Relocated fuel pump concern 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Yea just take that spring off the line that was here, remove the line you have now where it goes into the tank and slide that spring on. It should be long enough to do what you need. You can always put it in the spot you like and black tape it to the line to hold it in place. Most V twins have the line running right through there no problems.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #225197 laslet (User) Can we go now?

Moderator Posts: 12511 Re:Relocated fuel pump concern 2 Years, 8 Months ago   I reused the metal line that ran between the jugs. I took it off and bent it so that it was a better fit and wrapped it with some more insulation. I don't have any problem at all. BUT I will tell you that is ONE TOUGH line to bend.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #225361 stinger (User) Hey y'all...watch this!

Here's something I'm gonna' try when I change to stainless braided line this winter. This will keep the heat off the line between the jugs. Insulation Used it on a race car Where the fuel line got close to the headers. Works great & inexpensive.   Logged     http://s671.photobucket.com/home/jhurdle/index   The administrator has disabled public write access. #225387 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Relocated fuel pump concern 2 Years, 8 Months ago   The marine industry has some CG approved fuel line that can withstand open flame. I haven't tried it on the bike, but have used it on a boat..Didn't test it tho...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #225402 bstephens600 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 71 Re:Relocated fuel pump concern 2 Years, 8 Months ago   I did the fuel pump relocation last summer and had the same concern. I am an engineer for a fuel pump manufacturer and we had a fuel hose vendor in discussing some of their new products. I expressed my concern to him about the hose contacting the top of the cylinder head and he assured me there would not be a problem unless it came in contact with an exhaust pipe. I have not had any issues with my installation thus far...knock on wood.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #225406 slothy (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1883 Re:Relocated fuel pump concern 2 Years, 8 Months ago   ya i would think normal fuel tubing wouldn't be a prob as mention unless its laying on the pipes. heads/jugs get hot, but not like pipes. near heads   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
