Gambit Low Pressure Fuel Hose kit

[Gambit]

Hi Y'all,
Introducing “Gambit’s FL5 Low Pressure Fuel Hose Kit”. Source it, DIY / build it yourself.

The benefit of this DIY kit for the community is that all parts are available on ebay or universally available online. You can mix and match whatever parts you have spare to replace the OE non compliant E85 low pressure fuel hose that runs from the firewall hardline to the high pressure fuel pump. Pictured here:

This kit replaces the low pressure line with a AN6 PTFE coated braided line that is E85 compliant and perfectly suited to the Hondata Canflex unit that mounts to the firewall. The connections are quick AN6 connects in order to plug and play (so to speak). I have added a Aeroflow 40 micron fuel filter in the line as well.

The prototype lines pictured are to test for Right Hand Drive and Left Hand Drive to clear and route cleanly away from the inlet manifold to the High Pressure Fuel Pump. The benefit of this approach is two fold: 1. an E85 compatible line and 2. easily accessible fuel filter from the firewall for regular servicing.

I'll be prototyping another fuel filter version with a MAHLE 20micron filter which is OE on a 930 911 turbo Porsche. In fact you could interchange any fuel filter you'd like into the lineout kit.

Once i conduct further testing after going E85 Canflex for myself i'll release further details.

I'm interested. I'd like to use the Injector Dynamics 5 Micron filter or radiums version.

Good idea. While I'm not sure that there is any evidence that this particular fuel line needs to be upgraded, I do think integrating a filter would be a great value add and meets a need for the FL5 platform that is currently not met.

Anyone running flexfuel should have some concerns with the OEM lines. I'm excited to see other options other than JSR FK8 offerings.

I’m actually interested in this as I recently purchased Hondata’s CanFlex for my FL5. I’m all for protecting my HPFP and Injectors from further contamination.

I know when it comes to the LPFP paper filter, you have to change it out. Especially more frequently when using ethanol. I’m sure I’m not the only one, but I’d rather not deal with the rear seats to access the fuel sender unit, just to replace the filter every 6 months to a year since it’s a pita.

have you switched to E85/CanFlex, and if so, any updates to your testing?

I would reccomend a bigger filter.

Thanks for the supportive responses. I should have some updated feedback in the next few weeks from @Integra23 with the ID-F1250.

I am currently testing a variation of the LPFH line out kit without a filter between the Canflex and HPFP. In combination with a yet to be released variation to the inline filter setup. When I get more time i'll post up another thread to share the kit and data.
