    Help - Tunnel Route for MFI Return Fuel Line?

    I am reinstalling the hard fuel tube for the MFI return and I would like to ensure I have the proper routing in the tunnel to avoid any obstructions. I know where it enters and exits the tunnel. It appears that the supply line is routed through a channel at the upper LHS of the tunnel similar to the routing of the wiring harness on the RHS. The photo shows the supply line entering the channel inside the tunnel, just above the throttle rod, as seen from the rear of the car. My question is....

    How does the return line route? Does it go through the same tunnel? If not, what it the route?

    Scott

    Thanks for your reply...Just to confirm...The return line goes through the same channel, above the throttle rod, as the supply line. Is that correct?

    OK. Took me all afternoon to get the new solid tubing through the channel and out the front firewall. Getting the front section through the plastic guide tube and out the firewall was challenging. I had to make a guide tube out of a section of brake tubing to guide the front out the firewall hole. Glad that’s over with.
