Is a single dash 12 hose ok to tank in boot ?

or 2 dash 10s

and

I am undecided about routing of lines.

I want to run them under car ?

what says you ?

Roger you'll want a -16AN from the tank to the pump

and

a -12AN return from the scavenge stages to the tank with the oil cooler and spin on fileter in t he line

and

a -10AN breather line from the crank case to the tank with a one way flapper valve so you you can maybe build up some vacuum.

From the tank you will want a -12AN line from the top to your breather tank.

For the pressure stage to the inlet of the engine you will need a -10AN

You want the spin on filter on the return to the tank so that it's easy to change and all the oil in the tank is spotlessly clean and the Peterson on the pressure stage to pickup any stray particles picked up in the pump
I ran it the other way round until advised by some switched on kiwi brothers and it's been great ever since
You can mount the lines under the car but I ran mine through the car so that the pump is the lowest thing in the system and it has no problems gravity feeding making oil changes a little easier

Roger,

I'm not sure what that tool is supposed to make easier? I have always just uses a fine tooth junior hacksaw, clip off a few strays with some side cutters and in it goes! I have just converted all my fuel lines to teflon and that is much easier to work with than the rubber but I suppose with oil lines you would use the rubber hose.

I always cut mine with an angle grinder :shock:

What I do is stick some masking tape around the area I want to cut, mark it, then buzz through with a ultra fine cutting disc on a grinder, unwrap the tape and usually get zero fraying
