I didnt think they made a 2.2 back then, 2.5 was the norm, Maybe they did. What are you going to do for the pump?

Im sure it would providing you can hook up to the existing feed line, Like you said. And if the pump was in the boat tank It wouldnt know the difference from the stock location. Do you have to run a return line on these setups, Or was there no return from the factory?, Seems like there should be a return.

PMMaster you are correct. I would say you could use the high pressure rubber, But steel would be safer In my opinion though I do consider myself a worry wart having been on fire a few times In my life. Just use some rubber for the connections.

i used to use copper with short pieces of regular fuel line between conections , ,now i use just regular rubber all the way , i run them over the dash and use spray foam where they go under hood , i never had a problem in 4 years of doing it

ive ran 6 cavys with the 2.2. i take out the glove box and heater blower motor and that alows you to route your fuel lines in a safe place. just cut the metal lines at the motor and hook up your fuel line there with a 2 clamps holding it on. pretty easy setup
