Well I found some videos and images of the D8800 engine showing how the fuel lines run to the top of the block. I found some drawings of the fuel injectors but not real clear how they mate to the block. So I'm gonna wing it. Also need a fuel line from the gas tank to the pony motor and some various other lines that are seen in those videos.
The most helpful one is this.

Shame the photographer was more interested in the fan belts than the other stuff going on there.

Hi MP, Really cool build you have going on here!!!! I have been using some of these pics for reference...

Hopefully the link works.
It is a little bit newer model with the cabling system routed thru a pipe on the dozer side instead of the overhead method but these are the best engine pics I have found.

Thanks Bunches Randy! I did see that website earlier but not that dozer. Don't ya love the seat? They have some great shots of the fuel lines and a little more detail, enough to work with.
You started yours yet? WAIT, don't show it, I see yours I'll quit.

Well till Randy shows me up on this, here's what I"m doing for the absent fuel lines.
Just got to do it three more times.

Chris check out the photos Randy linked us. The fuel line comes into the injector at a 90 into a connector at the top. I'll put another nut at that location to make it more clear. Hard to get pipe this thin to bend a full 90.
Here's a link to the Cat website with the fuel injector. This is a modern replacement but it fits this engine.

Well I'll be darnedhmy: Never would have thought that would work unless it's a premanufactured line .
Can't argue with hat though
Good for you, that's easier that making well radiused curves.

Looks like you are on the right track there Bob!
I myself really appreciated the info links as I have the tractor version with no dozer blade.
