High Pressure Fuel line

Dot is not Canadian why would it matter? If it matters it's NHRA approved, which has tougher rules.

I don't have comprehensive on the car anyways.

Almost correct DOT is not originally Canadian but the Ministry Of Transportation adopts the DOT safety standards when it comes to vehicle inspections within Ontario. Lamps are a prime example of this.

Is DOT replacement accepted for every part, or it's on an individual basis? Theres a big difference between headlights and fuel lines.

My original post was to inform you of th fcat DOT regulations are recognized by the Ministry Of Transportation and therefore do matter when listed.

As for your other question its on a case by case basis. I will tell you the fuel system falls under the crash testing of a vehicle. If an MTO officer feels you have compromised the safety of the vehicle in a crash they will pull the plates. If the modification caused an injury or lead to a worsening injury in the event of a crash and the insurance company is made aware of this be prepared to be held accountable.

A flared hard line with a high pressure fuel injected soft line and proper SS high pressure fluid line clamps would be in my opinion a proper fix. Using anything else I would find questionable.

Insurance companies will only care about the official government-recognized approvals - and only those approvals that THIS government recognizes. I'm pretty sure that the US DOT standards are referenced in CMVSS, which in most cases are a copy of the US standards.

NHRA and other racing bodies are not government-recognized.
