    Default MX12 Fuel lines help

    Hello everyone,
    I am working on a 7M-GE conversion into my 1972 Corona MKII. I have lost track of which lines are my fuel feed and return!
    Under the car, coming from the tank three lines come out. Anyone know which is which?
    I can post a photo if it helps
    Thanks for any advice!

    Here is the photo. Is there a way I can test to see which line is which?
    Thanks for any help. I feel pretty stupid about this one.

    it doesn't really matter, you've got to put an efi pump on there, you can choose which goes where

    you're gonna have to change the rubber parts of the line to high psi efi hose.

    if you still wanna know for some reason i'll check mine tomorrow


    edit: sorry it actually might matter, my bad

    the vapour line will probly not be submerged, gomme a minute and i'll check which it is.
    beer me!

    well i believe the line furthest from the middle of the car is the main fuel line. the way i figured that was i blew into the line, to see what resistance i had, then sucked on it to see if fuel was being drawn through. if you do this don't suck too hard, unless you like the taste of petrol

    Wow you guys are great. Thanks for being willing to help!

    The vapor line is pretty easy to spot, it splits off and runs to the passenger side of the car. I posted before identifying that one, sorry.

    I can do what joecoolmk2 suggested and suck on the tubes and see which one has fuel. Introducing even the smallest amount of gasoline into your mouth or even just anywhere near your face is really not fun. Last time I had to siphon fuel out of a tank I didn't think I would be able to taste anything ever again!

    that's why i blew through the line first, that way i knew that the fuel had a long way to travel before it came out. you can feel it coming up the line, like when you suck on a macca's straw
