I've searched and have not been able to find any examples.

I'm trying to get my fx150 installed and the fuel is not lining up. I'm told it needs bent. Does anyone have info on where to bend the line and how to go about it? Thanks.

Should not need any bending what car are you installing on?

Who said that? I would get in contact with spool themselves and ask their instructions. IMO why would someone spend months of time creating an item just to send it out to have people have to modify it to fit there car.

Don't bend anything if anything go to a shop and have it properly installed to prevent future problems. Hpfp can cause major problems

Would have been nicer if they could provide new lines like Dorch instead of forcing factory parts to fit.

It helps to loosen all the bolts on the hardline; the two on the rail in addition to the one you already loosened.

A little persuasion isn’t that uncommon.

The fuck?? Dude that's the shit we were doing over a year ago when we were Frankensteining TU pumps and still figuring this shit out.
Dorch sent me lines that fit like a glove with their stage 2 setup.
Gotta say fuck Spool, man. That's some janky shit.

what frankensteining according to you needed for TU pump install? all tubes fitted well for me. moving connector angle is 1 minute job. all sound insulation fits
well no any wiring extending needed, all looks stock

We weren't changing the connector angle back at that time.

Honestly can't say because I sold my TU pump almost a year ago and switched Dorch Stage 2. I believe you that with the connector adjustment it's a drop in fit.

If anything, that just further reinforces that Spool is selling a ratchet upgrade - basically the only upgraded hpfp that requires you to bend your fuel lines.

How easy is it to rotate the connector?
