Fuel line options

[Duramax05blk]

So I had some issue with the yd and I got it stripped pretty bare,having had issues in the past with gm in line filters and the condition of these lines I am just going to replace them. I'm all about upgrading when replacing parts. My thoughts were to replace all the lines with either Russell push connect I belive it's ptfe, or stainless braided line and an -6 fittings. Has any one done this or have any input. I have been searching but threads are on track cars not mild stock fuel systems
Thanks Aaron

stainless braid with russel connects are overkill.. Go for it.. you will have Zero problems.
I run this setup on my turbo talon, both feed and return lines.

Just secure them very well as they will cut through damn near anything they touch.

good deal. thanks for the advice. are you running the same size on the return as the feed?
also i read of a few people having issues with push to connect fittings like the factory to an -6 adapters pooping off. Again this was on ls1 talk threads i found through google and they were high hp camaros. this is a stock fuel Denali connecting to stock rails. as long as the lines are secured and not pulling on the connection hard i cant see them pooping off?

Don't know about "pooping off" but the nifty hose clamp covers will hide the device meant to keep them from popping off.

this thread is similar to what i am planning on doing. the fourth pic from the bottom shows the fuel rail fittings im talking about.
*on break at work don't have time to upload to photobucket to embed it here sorry about that.

Find another solution.
Any chance of popping off means Fire.

haha just caught that spelling error. but i continued to research and the braided was overkill and way to exensive for a 2003 dd. so while researching the russell twist lock stuff i found out my buddy used it on one of his custom duramax builds and it didnt hold up that well, and the truck never saw snow or rain. So as much as i hate to say it on a new england dd truck stock style prob best option.
