Ok I am done fighting with this hard line. Messed it up during engine removal and/or install. Not sure when it happened but it happened.

I think I want to change it to flexiable line but I've never used AN fittings. Is there a AN fitting that will thread directly in the the fuel rail? Can I get a filter that will thread in stock line tank side and AN on engine side?

Basically what would I need?

Thanks in advance for any knowledge on AN fittings and fuel line or any other creative ideas.

 

Contact Russell, that's the name of one company. AN connectors and line is expensive just so you know. Nothing cheap about that stuff. I'm going to use some for the clutch line in my project because they don't service the line seperately. The fittings alone are about 35.00 bucks, for one line.

 

Oh ouch, I wasnt expecting that. I was seeing the line on ebay for $35 and figured another $15 for 2 fittings to fuel rail and filter. I'd be good with that. Now it's getting as pricey as a new formed line.

 

I just ordered from Amazon

AN6 Straight Swivel Car Fuel Oil Hose End Fitting Black Aluminum Alloy-6an Hose End
x2

AN-6 Male to 3/8" Fuel Hose Line Tube Straight Fitting Compression Adapter
x2

SUNROAD 6AN 5Feet Universal Stainless Steel/Nylon Braided Fuel Oil Line Hose-Silver
x1

$42

I'll have to use a little bit of the original hard line at each end but this will take care of the mangled and busted section in the middle. Cheaper than the $150 for the prebent OEM replacement assembly. Easier than trying to bend hard line with the complex curves behind engine. I just hope it works.
We should know by Sunday evening.,

 

Update:

6AN worked wonderfully.

total cost was around $50. Because I did break one of the hose fittings and had to order a 3rd one, but ordered 2 more just incase. So now I've got a spare. Should have been around $40 if I hadn't done that. Oh well, I learned and definatly not the most expensive lesson I've ever been taught. Lol

 

Thanks for the update! How long have the lines been installed?

 

I've been driving it daily for about 6 weeks now.
