Default parallel fuel line

Hi, any help would be greatly appreciated! !
I have a classic v6 my00 turbo 2000 which I want to make a parallel fuel line for,
Does anyone know how much braided fuel line I require and how many an-6 couplings etc are required?
I have a billet fuel rail, 550cc injectors and an aftermarket fuel pressure reg.. any help would be great, and if anyone has a diagram/picture. . Would be even better!
Thanks in advance! !

I did my setup a little different.
Have 1 AN6-T and 9 AN6 females.
I put a AN6 T on the first side inlet and have the fuel inlet and the "cross over" pipe connected on this T.
The use a AN6 fitting on each fitting on the 3 other fitings on the rails. and also 3 on the regulator.

I Have to get 90 degree fittings on 3 of the fuel rail fittings as I couldnt clear the oil filler and the Cam belt cover and sensor. Also on the turbo side it was hitting somewhere.

I used 3x 90 degrees and 6 normal AN6. Fuel piping I ordered 2m. And could of done with a little more but it worked. I have a very long not so ideal route of piping though!

Can anyone tell me what fittings I use to connect onto the rigid fuel lines in the engine bay? I'm converting my p1 to a parallel setup. I have all the swivel ends and other bits just don't know how to connect onto the supply fuel line and fuel filter. Thanks.

You can either buy hard line fittings or push on fittings.

Both available from torques on eBay, 10mm were the ones I used on mine, you have to cut the bevel off the end of the solid fuel line in order to fit either of those fittings

Make sure that no braided line touches anything else. Vibrations cause it to work like a very effective file cutting through plastics, rubbers and even metals.

Thanks for the advice. One last question when connecting male to female adapters do you need to use ptfe tape or loctite on the threads. or rubber o rings? cheers

No ptfe tape required and any fittings that require O rings will come with the fittings from torques
