Since the Cobra wheel base is 90" you should have a significant hard line run of at least 84". In my opinion, hard line under the chassis is just safer but should always be routed in a protected position and secured with padded clamps. Of course, any hose used should be certified for use with fuel.
Wow....mechanical fuel pump up front? Did you even read my original message?


To all of you who have offered on-topic feedback….thanks!! Anyone else out there running braided fuel hoses want to share info?
