Hey guys I was wondering where you run your hose within a hose lines on a rabbit pickup, Fatmobile I am looking to you for advice, I dont think that i want to run them below the truck since my exhaust is in the way of the tunnel and I dont want to scrape something along the bottom and rip my hoses out. i was thinking of putting them through the cab but i want to conceal the hoses and not get that much heat transfer inside the cab, just looking to see what others have done, thanks in advance guys.
later
Justin

running vegy lines to the tank
On my pickup, I ran them underneath.
I took a 5 ft piece of exhuast pipe (forgot the diameter) had them put an 80 degree bend on the end.
It hits the turn in the engine bay and runs next to the exhaust till it gets behind the cab.
This is how I have the Fatmobile ('83 Rabbit) setup too. I noticed a big drop in engine temp due to running all this coolant through an uninsulated metal pipe.
I think you could run it under the vehicle, ... inside some large radiator hose might keep the heat loss down some ... or under the carpet inside the car.
I'll try to get some pics up after the weekend.
