Stupid question, but basically I'm re doing my fuel lines, converting everything to hard or steel braided.

About 4 months ago I started and stopped. The time has come now to do my lines tonight to get ready for a start up, and I forgot to mark which one was the feed...

So basically if anyone with an S-chassis can check if the feed line (the one with the fuel filter) is closest to the frame rail I'd appreciate it.

I have pictures of this, but my main computer is down. I've searched TONS of online pics and threads for the last 2 hours with no avail. So I'm giving up basically lol. Oh an I really DON'T want to prime my fuel system to test this..

fuel filter line is the feed it goes to the back of the rail not the one going to the fuel pressure regulator. Btw you've been around here too long not to know this. lol

i think he removed the fuel filter completely so you cannot really tell. i'd try outside of this subforum... might get some more views

Exactly what i meant. Both lines now have flared fitting attachments on them and look identical.

I'm pretty sure its the line closest to the frame rail thats feed.... I guess I'm going to have to test it. I cannot find a clear picture to save my life.

I might have good news in a few days.. I shall see.

Figured I'd follow up to this. I took a guess on a whim. I figured it was 50/50 chance. Turns out the feed line on an s-13 is closest to the frame rail.

Car fired up last night I idled her for about 20-25 min, I've got a few bugs to work out hopefully tonight, change the oil, and a tune in a week or two.. I'll update if all goes well.

Turn the car on with a hose attached to each going into a bucket, and see which one has fuel coming out of it.
