Hot Rods Fuel line through frame rail

ON this 32 ford I'm finishing the owner routed braided line thru the boxed front frame rail as the rh exhaust pipe is 1" away from rail...too close to run a steel fuel line past. I don't like the braided line idea and probably can make a steel gas line and get it inside the frame rail. To protect the steel line inside what do you folks recommend , heater hose, some kind of shield? couldn't find a thread on it.

 

I used that spiral plastic hydraulic hose wrap. It would never wear through in my or your lifetime.

 

The hose wrap is a good idea. I have it all over my hotrod where needed and it is used on commercial vehicles as well. Just remember you don't want anything rubbing on anything..........

 

thought about that spiral wrap. thx for the suggestion. It will be easier to use.

 

I used neoprene fuel split the entire length and tie wraps to keep the metal line from rubbing against any metal on the inside of the frame. HRP

 

I did this to run lines through the crossmember, but the idea can be modified for inside a frame rail. Weld tabs on the inside the rail with the hole id for a grommet bore. Supports and isolates at the same time.

 

Shove a 1/2" ID rubber hose ove a 3/8 corrosion proof metal line.

 

thank you all

 

Is it stainless steel braid -AN hose thru the framerail? Leave it, it is in a stainless steel casing. Can't get much better than that.

 

I think you may be able to find a bulkhead fitting. I see them advertised up to 3 1/2”,

 

What's wrong with good old rubber grommets?

 

He's not going thru a thickness of metal,
He's Running up a boxed frame, if you will within a tube, without access to mount the line.
