    I need to order the proper #16 suction line for my pump to pan line. The so-called correct SS lines do not work sometimes as we had a line suck together this weekend. Any help or directions for ordering would be appreciated! THANKS! Jim 931-580-8804

    email

    Email me your specs, fitting angles, and length from center of fitting to center of fitting (following the path of the hose) and I can make you one in 910 lightweight hose or 811 stainless hose. Both hoses have a PTFE Smoothbore Inner liner and are rated to 50 lbs of Vacuum. Many Pro Stock and Comp teams use our hose for their vacuum system.

    I use the Goodridge lines and fittings that Will sells and it is GREAT STUFF !!!
    Buying it from Will helps support this site and his racing efforts.

    Check your pickup to pan clearance. Put a tab on the pickup so it will not suck down.
    Check your pickup to make sure it has enough surface area = 'enough holes'.
    Thicker oil needs bigger holes to suck through.
    Anyone of these will cause suction problems.
