    Feed from tank to pump, pump to filter, filter to fuel rail.
    I did mine in braided, wish i used polished tubing tho.



    Not the best pic as it's while i was painting the floor, but you get the idea.

    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi

    Still I get them tendencies

    I don't understand how you can make a bodge job of fuel lines, just buy new pipework and route it neatly.

    SPi tank with uprated fuel pump is the neatest solution and can use the original sender unit.
    GTE/GSi senders are hard to find now and a cluttered setup imo.

    Use a later tank with an internal pump for neatness. Otherwise try to get a gte or gsi fuel pump cradle and bolt it to the chassis rail
    use Corsa or later gm blue fuel pipe as its a neater way to plumb it in
