Just to say, PTFE line is nice, but almost all new fuel line now handles today's gas.

If you want to take it to the track, you may want to look at the NRHA rule book, because you're limited to like 3' or so of soft lines. (Rest has to be hard lines).

You WANT to run hard lines as much as possible for fuel, because due to the fuel line slightly enlarging when under psi, and contracting during low psi times, you can experience fluctuations in fuel psi. More prone in deadhead systems than return systems, but still a concern.

Aside from the psi thing, you still want to run as much hard line as possible for 2 reasons, one, you don't have to change all the lines every X years, which I think by NRHA standards, is every 3 or 5 years. And two, it safer, not to mention less costly.

Pump (electric) lower than the source, and as close to the source is fuel system 101.
