Fuel lines through bulkhead
Discussion
Hi
I need to run some fuel lines through the bulkhead of my race car however I also need to make sure the bulkhead is fire retardant/sealed at the point the fuel lines run through the bulkhead. What should I use to achieve this? I’m think some kind of fireproof putty but don’t actually know if this is a thing. If you know what I mean then please let me know below. Thanks

Use a proper AN Dash bulkhead fitting, which is also the only legal MSUK solution if your running fuel lines through the cabin. Also highly advisable is also to use teflon lined hose to avoid the fumes.
I think that’s only relevant if their is a “join” in the fuel lines. The lines in my car are unbroken from tank to fuel rail. Intumescent putty sounds about right I’ll look it up.Gassing Station | UK Club Motorsport | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
