Subject:Re: 50 PSI Fuel lines. Enough?

Hi Brian,

50 PSI is fine as long as you place complete trust in your fuel
pressure regulator. If your FPR fails or the hose from it back to the
tank gets kinked then the pressure will go to 110PSI before the fuel
pump shuts down.

I would keep looking for something stronger unless it was an
emergency. There are lots of suppliers that carry the correct hose.

Happy trails,
