Default Which Fuel Line

Good morning all...

I am in the process of relocating my fuel lines. I've cut them under the passenger seat and I'm going to run them over the trans and up to the throttle body.

I followed the inside line (closest it the trans) and it runs back into the filter, can anyone confirm that this is the supply fuel line?

Thanks,
Den

Filtered line is feed line.

Man I wouldn't run them in the tunnel. Way too much heat build up in there with the exhaust heat going up in the tunnel and no place to go. Run them down the frame rail right where Mazda put them.

They don't go all the way down the tunnel. Instead of the fuel lines going up the passenger header area, I have run the new lines up right around where the bell housing is. They then go up and over the bell housing to the EZ EFI throttle body.

Not me unless I was thinking out loud. I just used the stock lines and then rubber to the fuel rails. I want to go braided later though.....maybe one day when I get my car back from exhaust (7 weeks and counting lol)
