Radium Fuel Hanger Plumbing Kit | 2009-2013 Chevrolet Corvette (20-0983-03 / 20-0983-05)

Same tunnel, same torque tube, different master cylinder: the late C6 needs its own plumbing kit.

The Radium Engineering fuel hanger plumbing kit for the 2009-2013 Chevrolet Corvette provides all necessary plumbing to and from the engine for the Radium 20-0980 fuel pump hanger: an MPR-RA fuel pressure regulator, a fuel pressure gauge, a check valve fuel filter with your choice of element, Corvette-specific mounts, PTFE lines, adapter fittings, and hardware. From the hanger's pump outlet, 8AN PTFE hose runs to a chassis-mounted filter near the tank, then a second 8AN PTFE hose routes through the tunnel parallel to the torque tube to the FPR on a billet mount near the brake master cylinder. Stainless cushioned clamps secure the run and thermal insulation shields it from the exhaust. The OEM fuel feed hard line is repurposed as the return. E85 compliant throughout.

Choose Your Kit

• Stainless Filter (20-0983-03): 10 micron stainless element, cleanable and reusable
• Microglass Filter (20-0983-05): 6 micron microglass element for the finest filtration

What You'll Feel

• A complete return-style fuel system in one box instead of a fittings scavenger hunt
• The regulator and low micron filter the 20-0980 hanger requires, included rather than sold piecemeal
• Calibration you can see, with a fuel pressure gauge and adapters provided for dialing in the MPR-RA
• Exhaust-proofed plumbing through the tunnel with thermal insulation and cushioned stainless clamps
• E85-ready PTFE lines that will never soften or permeate like rubber hose

Features

• MPR-RA multi-port fuel pressure regulator with fuel pressure gauge
• Radium check valve fuel filter, stainless or microglass element
• Corvette-specific fuel filter mount and 2009-2013 FPR mount
• 8AN PTFE feed hoses, 8AN filter adapter fittings, 6AN return hose with PushLok ends
• SAE quick connect adapter for the OEM fuel rail connection, plus fuel feed line retainers
• Thermal insulating sleeve and stainless steel hardware

The Details

This kit is the late-C6 sibling of the 20-0981 kit, and the split is entirely about the FPR mount. The regulator bolts up near the brake master cylinder, and because GM revised the master cylinder for 2009, the bracket changed with it: 20-0983 carries the 2009-2013 bracket while 20-0981 carries the mid 2003-2008 version. Everything else is common. A SAE quick connect adapter ties the FPR to the OEM fuel rail using the stock feed line; if aftermarket rails are used instead, Radium recommends feeding each rail front port independently and plugging the rears, with no parts included for that procedure. For two-pump hangers running the Radium 20-0937 dual pump add-on, this same plumbing serves the merged single outlet.

Kit Includes

• MPR-RA fuel pressure regulator and fuel pressure gauge
• Radium fuel filter in the selected element with Corvette filter mount and FPR mount
• 8AN PTFE feed hoses, 8AN adapter fittings, 6AN return hose with PushLok ends, SAE quick connect rail adapter
• Fuel feed line retainers, thermal insulating sleeve, and stainless steel hardware
• NOT included: the 20-0980 fuel pump hanger, fuel pumps, aftermarket fuel rails, and any parts for independent aftermarket rail feeds

Applications

• 2009-2013 Chevrolet Corvette, manual transmission only, with the Radium 20-0980 fuel pump hanger

Important Notes

• Not compatible with automatic transmissions; bell housing space interferes with the fuel filter mounting
• Mid 2003-2008 cars require the 20-0981-03 / 20-0981-05 kit due to the earlier brake master cylinder and FPR mount
