Fuel pressure at tank

[Dan's Auto Salvage]

I need to make new fuel lines, and was wondering what the f/p is at the tank, it should be vacuum pressure only correct?? Is the return line under high pressure? The reason I ask is the lines are steel jacketed high pressure lines for some reason. Anyone know why this is? Thanks (as usual you guys undoubtedly will have a good answer)

as far as i know niether return or feed are under any pressure. and yes the supply is under slight vacuum. Mine have the braided stainless at the tank too and i was wondering why also

Thanks for the reply, all I can think is that ford may have used the same lines for the EFI Gas motors as to not have seperate parts, but that almost makes sense- Ford never seems to have a good interchange on parts....

By the way, I love the sig, I am in the Navy right now, and we appreciate all the support from the few that still do! I am going to be getting out in 10 days to pursue my dream of owning an "Automotive Recycling Facility" AKA Junk Yard! All PSD parts will be sold here first ofcourse.

Thanks, I can't remember where I seen that quote but i had it engraved on a plate and mounted to the base of the flag in my front yard!!!!!

BTW, thanks for what you do!

I don't think there should be any pressure or vacuum on the tank itself, the vent you're hunting in another thread should serve to equalize the tank with ambient.
