Geno's sells the Vulcan LP relocation kit w/o the big line kit. It's priced at $69 instead of the $129 Vulcan charges for the whole thing. The tech rep at Geno's claimed that the stock fuel lines are sufficient for stock to moderate power upgrades, but supports relocating the LP for increased reliability and ease of replacement. Anyone have experience that supports or refutes that claim?

I like that part.....

I would think that would be true. A fuel pressure gauge would needed to be run IMHO!!! A slightly modded truck (No taped wire) doesnt pull much (If any)more fuel. Also maybe upto 90 HP injectors.........I did a relocate kit...but i had to build it myself when i was working back in Gainesville.......worked ok....and it definatly was Eaiser to get too!

 

I saw this on Geno's. My vulcan kit was only eighty something off ebay, but I think Geno's is going to sell a lot of these kits.

I can support the claim that the stock lp location is a royal pita to get to

 

yeah thats cheap but it only uses 3/8" lines and only goes to the filter I would rather spend the money and get the good stuff.

 

My thought was that the larger lines and conectors that the vulcan big line kit uses would help keep the vp44 cooler and let it live a longer life. I sure hope that I am right.

 

That's exactly what I'm betting on for my truck. After spending many nights reading this DTR site I have my Vulcan relocate kit from Eric sitting here ready to put on this weekend after I get all of my gauges from Dave at Dieselmanor. Going to Oklahoma, Minnisota and back to Washington in two weeks..pulling a loaded dual tandem flatbed coming back. Dondi

 

Unless you are changing the id of the line all the way into the tank I can't see where a "big line" kit is going to help. From what I've seen they still plug into the stock fuel module.

 

I agree to a certian extent. But, volume wise, I have considerably more fuel stored (on it's way to the IP) in 1/2" lines than someone with the factory metal lines up to the firewall. Volume + flowing through much larger fittings, I don't see where you can go wrong?
Yes, there is a 1 foot or so section of smaller diameter tubing back at and above my tank, but from there forward I am have much, much more fuel capacity in the lines themselves.

 

3/8" lines are working well on 700+ hp trucks... but that is with stronger pumps, like the FASS!And there is no apparent problems with the stock lines in the tank.

1/2" lines, IMO, do seem to work better with the stock lift pump.
