    I've been buying the lines, and fittings from Good Vibrations, dragparts.com and building my own to the length I want them. Then having a local hose supply store crimp them. Last time I went to see them, they informed me they had the fittings also. The hose from GV is 500psi, which I haven't found locally, only 300lb.

    You can buy the crimp tool - rubber lines - straight & 90 degree fittings from Good Vibrations or RBS Superchargers - good investment if you plan on making new lines every few seasons - fittings can be re-used - just replace rubber lines and crimp outer collars

    Question, why do you need 500 psi hose when most fuel systems are under 180 psi. And the Goodrich hose is a -4 line on a -3 fittings. ? Flow restrictions ?

    Don't know that you do, but if you buy it from Vibes, it will be 500.

    Those are probably Goodridge who is a major sponsor of ITA. Check the sidebar for ad. XRP has a new line of hose just like that. Pretty hard to do these yourself. Requires a # 3 brake line type die. Not cheap lines. Most everybody uses the Enderle fittings and Parker 3/16 rubber line. I have the line and crimper for sale to do these. Send a PM if you want more info.

    I have my entire fuel system plumbed with Good-ridge lines. I really like them. I went that route so I don't have to worry about replacing lines due to the fear of the rubber deteriorating and plugging a nozzle. cost more up front but maybe less later. Never ran the rubber lines but I only run my car 5 races a year and having to replace the lines every 2 to 3 seasons? it seemed like a good choice to me...I just thought they might be more durable and safer too.

    I can't say for sure if they are the Goodridge injector line kit I sell or not.

    We use a brake line instead of a rubber line and brass fitting. The brake line is obviously rated much higher than the rubber line. In our application it's not so much pressure as it is longevity and flexibility/strength. Our brake line based hoses are much harder to kink or smash. You can bend them in a much tighter radius.

    With our 90's we offer a true radiused 90 fitting instead of a fitting that has two passages that intersect at a 90 like a enderle 90 does. This promotes negligible flow differences (if any) from a straight to a 90 and also reduces the concern of consistency of flow from fitting to fitting.

    We initially started using a -3 line and fitting, but we found on the flow bench the insert to put the fitting on causes a slight flow restriction and have since switched to a -4 brake line with an adaptor down to a -3 fitting. We also use stainless fittings and nuts for appearance and longevity.

    If you have any questions you can email my sales manager JB@DragRaceHose.com.
