Where to buy Fuel Components

[Mike5442]

I am finally going to open up my wallet and purchase new engine fuel lines, control pressure regulator, accumulator, and possibly injectors. I have already replaced the fuel pump with DMC's modern version last summer. I wanted to get people's opinions on where the best place to buy these components is before I hastily make purchases.

I see DMC has a set of stainless fuel lines for sale, but it also looks like Specialty auto has a set that is less expensive and includes a few more lines besides just the injector lines. Any thoughts on which ones?

Thank You!

I purchased the DPI line kit and would recommend these again. I purchased the accumulator kit, pump boot, pump lines, and pump screen/filter from DMCH. The injectors are pricey to replace and so I didn't do those. You can do a fuel flow test on the injectors to see if you have a problem there. I would do that before buying replacements.

I also bought the fuel filter kit from DMCH.

I won't use SpecialT/John Hervey as he's a PITA to deal with especially when the other vendors are nice and helpful.

has our injectors for a good price.

I wondered about those... Are they an exact match? Bosch brand and all or a cheap knock off?

I looked into DPI and they say their lines are 100% new and sound to be better quality than SpecialT, based on the fact they don't want your old ones as core.
I'm going to check my injectors too. I'm trying to solve a rich mixture problem after the car sat for almost 10 years by the previous owner.

Thanks for the tips

Our line kit includes all 13 lines with a protective sheathing. We do not reuse any of the stock fittings and only use eaton line ends designed for orientation after crimping. This means the barb is designed to swivel once crimped allowing for the perfect "tucked" look of the injector lines. Previously this kit did require cutting the return line for installation with a new compression sleeve. This has been updated with another purpose manufactured adapter making this fully plug and play.

Boy this would have been nice to have last year. That return line compression fitting was the hardest part. Glad you sorted that out going forward.

Updated for owner convenience. Not a problem on build cars with new stainless lines!

Mike, I have been rebuilding complete fuel systems and building rebuilding fuel parts for 15 years. Naturally people copy me on what I do but that is part of the game.
If you ever have trouble with any of the fuel system I will be the first to ask you what is wrong to try to save you any money and I am the only one that will loan parts to help save you save on repair. That goes for warm up regulators, distributors, frequency valves and what ever. My prices are good, but it's up to you where you buy the parts.

I have fitted John's S/Steel fuel lines on two of my cars and helped fit on a few other members cars they have always been very good quality and value. On another subject I fitted DPI's fan kit about a year ago and that's a superb upgrade to have on your car. I'm sure Josh's fuel lines are great quality to.
