| I would go with the -10 https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/"Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion |

| 8 will work fine.Most alky pumps(belt driven) have -8 in bottom and your smallest hole is the biggest hole in system. A -10 will carry more capacity to pump inlet and if you have any 90* fittings it will help since they are fairly restrictive. Down side is extra weight of line and fittings.

| A BIG downside of using a -10 line (with a rear mounted fuel cell) is the excessive weight of the fuel in the line, trying to be moved to the front of the car against g-forces.

W/ the option of going Alky later I'd go w/ -10. Be CAREFUL not to kink the ptfe tubing, -10 is not as forgiving as the -08. There are some mfg.'s that use a thin innercore.
That's my main reason for switching to -8. I have to make a 90 degree turn to the regulator and I don't know if the ptfe -10 will do it. I was planning to use Orme Brothers hose because they told me theirs is made by the same company that makes Fragola. |

| If I ever replace my aluminum fuel line I will put the cell in the front. That will make it easier and cheaper. |

Never thought of that, makes sense....  I was just talking to a buddy who had a legit 8.50 155+ Mustang street car with a 600+ Ford engine. He ran a Mallory 250 pump and -8 line  |

| 4.5" radius means a 28.25 in circumference circle. Tie a pencil to a string and hold the string 4.5" from the pencil and draw a circle. That's a 4.5" radius.
I think it's like PEX tubing where you can bend a radius 6x the diameter of the tube. They make a guide to hold PEX tubing, you could use one of those as a guide possibly. |
