Damn I got some SE steel hard lines to go with the SE pump and tank but my main line has 4 sizes of rubber hose in it now to make it all work right.WTF was mazda thinking when they did these cars?I have some 5/16", 1/4",3/8" and 1/2" hose all at the back end of my car to make it work.WTF?This car better run once I finish up everything else or its a DirectFreak fuel system install.

If I were to do it all over again I'd do a surge tank with all stock lines.

I don't need a surge tank.My SE tank will do.If and when I have to redo it I'm going SS lines.

Thats not the reason I'd do a surge tank and SS lines are a waste of $ if you ask me.



Reason for surge tank, There isn't a very good place to mount a big *** single pump under the car and a surge tank that is set up right elimitates the possiblility of the pump catching a breath of air.



SS lines, they cost too much. Lines can be had for much cheeper.



just my opinion.
