What size are LS fuel lines?

What size are LS fuel lines?

AN LS stock fuel rail setup utilizes 3/8 inch quick connects on the feed and 5/16 quick connects on the return, both available from Hot Rod fuel hose LS swap kits.

What fuel pressure does a Ls need?

58 PSI
Most LS engines operate at 58 PSI, as well the most popular EFI systems operate anywhere between 48 PSI and 58 PSI. The exception to this would be Gen V LS engines with direct injection which have a higher-pressure requirement. Always choose the proper fuel pressure regulator for your application.

Is the LS1 fuel rail Returnless?

This kit includes the LS1 Corvette style filter/regulator and -6AN conversion fittings you need to use it in an engine swap. These are for use with fuel rails without a return line. The regulator is a top quality brand and so are the fittings (which use threaded caps instead of the flimsy plastic clips).

How a Returnless fuel system works?

On returnless systems, fuel is picked up via the fuel screen sock at the bottom of the tank, then routed to the fuel pump. The pump supplies the needed fuel pressure and volume to the engine and the excess is directed back into the tank after passing through a pressure regulator.

Do LS engines have fuel return?

Return style fuel system LS engine In what has been termed a return style fuel system the fuel pressure regulator is integrated into the fuel rail on the LS engine itself. In this type of system you will have a fuel line running up to the fuel rail and return line also coming back from the fuel rail.

What size fuel line do I need for 1000 HP?

There are many factors that can dictate fuel line size and it is not just horsepower goals. For instance, an 8AN feed line and 6AN return line on a 1000 horsepower gasoline or race gas powered LS with 30psi is sufficient.

Does a Holley Blue fuel pump need a return line?

Fuel pressure is pre-set at 15 PSI and both a pressure regulator and 3/8″ return line to the tank are required.

Does fuel pump increase horsepower?

The technical answer is yes; fuel injectors can add 10 extra horsepower at peak. However, for some car owners, that minimal difference does not offset the increased cost and complexity of switching to fuel injectors or upgrading the existing stock fuel injectors.

What is a Deadhead fuel system?

The term “dead head” simply means that the fuel in the system does not recirculate back to the gas tank from the front of the car. A return system recycles fuel back to the tank using either a bypass at the fuel pump or at the regulator.

Does a fuel injected engine need a return line?

Setting up fuel lines for fuel injection. That’s because almost all fuel injection systems require higher fuel pressures than a carbureted system, and most also require a fuel return line, not often found on a carbureted vehicle.
