fuel lines can you clamp them without them leaking? crimp.. best idea?
 
okay i have a 90 honda accord with an F22B dohc that im getting ready to turbo. i keep blowing up my fuel pumps and since i have to drop the tank i want a fuel cell in my trunk with an external pump. thus, i need to extend my lines. has anyone done this? or can anyone tell me if i can clamp my high preasure line without it leaking to extend it into my trunk? the other lines as well.. not really sure of anywhere online i might be able to buy the fittings for this. that would be awsome too. thanks

If your running lines from a cell in the tank I would really recommend using proper AN fittings and line.It is grossly expensive though.Why are you blowing up fuel pumps that is not right?

i have no idea why i keep blowing up fuel pumps. ive gone through 4 in my CRX and 1 in my accord. i figure in the long run a fuel cell might prove handy being that it would be in my trunk, not under the car. heavy car, bet i could lose a few lbs too. plus, it looks cool when i pop the tunk with a nice shinny fuel cell back there hah.

I think the fuel cell is going to be a fucken headache and a half. Check your alternator to see if it's giving the fuel pump too high of a voltage and blowing them.

If you did it, I wouldn't clamp anything on the feed side with any kind of pressure in it. Use steel AN fittings and it won't be as expensive as using the bling Aluminum red/blue ones. And if you need any of that ----, I can custom order it.
