hi,
dunno about the RTA laws, but i know that in competition (CAMS ect) fuel lines are run inside, but they have to be solid lines....
so long as you put a shild around them, i dont think there would be any problems with it....
hope that helps in some way

I believe they can be run inside but need a physical barrier - plate etc. (e.g. where the moke fuel lines run inside the footwell to the firewall).

Not best practice though...

Yeah i dont realy want to run the lines through the car(brothers idea), but not sure if a 8m efi, and two 6mm return lines will fit in the std spot. Anyway if they do go inside there guna have to go around/over the seat xmember

just run the 8mm down one side (under the shield) and the 2 6mm under the other side ( under the other shield)

Why do you need to run two return lines? Most engine conversion people just use the factory mini line for the return line and runt he new (bigger) in parrallel
