Ouch thats $160 USD. Seems a bit high. Didn't Wildcat Diesel have the high flow banjo kit for much less? Why does their website say they are not open for retail business anymore? www.wildcatdiesel.com

Cant remember what the kit went for but Im sure Scottys is comparable. I believe the kit is the same. Scotty worked with Wildcat and designed it.....

If -8 an is 1/2", why is everyone using the -6 an? Is the 1/2" overkill? Just another newbie question.
The only way to get the full benefit of -8 would be to replace the pick in the tank and the lines form the tank to the LP.

Correct me if I am wrong here guys, but won't most reinforced automotive fuel line (that is approved for diesel) handle the 15psi that our lift pumps put out?

. Let me clarify I am not doubting anyones product. I just don't understand why the 6 & 8 AN combo is supposed to be better.

I think I can... I think...
I've noticed that this upgrade is to increase fuel pressure from the lift pump and seems to mainly be on the 24 valve engines.
What is the benifit of doing this same upgrade on My 96? Will it increase my horsepower or torque or is this just a pump saving measure?

to greenworks I have seen 30 r7 fail in a long pull with a long run of fuel hose, most recently we put a holley pro-jection on a blazer and used 30r7 for the supply and return, it worked great till the middle of summer when it was warm it would pinch itself shut, the 50psi is just that psi not inches of vaccuum, if you put a pusher by the tank you solve the problem of the fuel line and lift pump. I have a short run of 30r7 hose being sucked through by my pusher, but if I was going to the tank I would want something to withstand the suction/heat
