DOES ANY1 KNOW HOW TO INSTALL THE MAIN FUEL LINE?, im having trouble getting it from the fuel filter in the engine bay to Options

[djestylez401]

i have a st. and the fuel line had to be replaced so i bought i new one from the dealer. When removing damaged one i had most of the bolts removed from black panel under car which hold the fuel/brake lines etc. I removed the old one by cutting it into pieces. Now im having trouble installing the new one? Im not sure which way to put the line through first. Should i start from the engine bay and pass the line to the bottom of the car or should i pass it from under the car to the engine bay. I sure many have done this before. Both ways seem almost impossible do to engine parts in the way. Can somewhere please provide me with some instructions. Thanks

ive never done it before, but i would think you would prolly have to go from under the car, into the engine bay..
getting the car up high, on 4 jackstands maybe on cyinderblocks would prolly be a big help.

I've done the brake lines, and like you say it is fairly difficult to install them in one piece without removing any big parts. I started at the bottom and fed the line into the engine bay. Note that you'll probably need to have the car pretty high up for it to clear, and if you want to do it without removing any parts, you'll probably have to bend it some and bend it back in position. Be careful though, because the tubing kinks easily.

you should have just bought a coil of hard steel line from napa for about $20 and then bent and snaked it as you went, then flared it where you needed to. thats how i ran new brake lines from the engine on back on my stepmoms car.

did you get yours through without removing big parts? Or did u bend them?
