Default Which Fuel Filter Fitting??

I have an AEM fuel filter (temporarily). The hole is 12x1.25 according to AEM. I am using -10 line from the filter to the rail. I need to know which fittings/adapters I can use to go from the 12x1.25 hole to the -10 line. If you have part numbers that would be awesome because I can't seem to find anything that would work.

Well I can get you from 12x1.25 to -6 but not -10... heh. You could use 2 adapters but I guess that defeats the purpose.

Correction....I did some more checking and AEM confused me haha. I can use a 1/8"NPT fitting to go into the filter hole. I've found 1/8"NPT to -06 as well....but now I need to somehow get from -06 to -10

I can't imagine you'll actually want to use an 1/8" NPT fitting... they are really small. Are you sure?

can't be that small. It fits nicely perfectly into the outlet hole on the AEM fuel filter ...........(which they claim supports 500).

Another question....I know that you obviously want the fuel lines to be as straight as possible, but could you use a 1/8 to -6AN fitting that is 90 degrees coming right off the filter then going to the rail. **Notice the bold, thats what I am asking about**

I don't think it could be much worst than a banjo bolt haha

HELL YES, ok everyone here is a case where hard work/searching/using your damn brain pays off. I figured out a solution to my problem:

First: Use a 1/8 to 3/8 NPT Reducer on the filter http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/nc...r=361
Second: Use a -10AN to 3/8NPT Adapter and stick the 3/8 into the filter. http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/nc...r=361
FINALLY: Use the 120 degree -10AN swivel fitting and attach it to the above step. http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/nc...r=361
WAAA LAAAA, and I'm on my way to the rail!

Thanks for your attempts Dustin...you've been there when I've needed help (from threads in the past)! to Dustin.

Why is 1/8" coming into play here? The hole on my AEM filter is no where near as small as 1/8".

the outlet hole on top of the filter is a 12x1.25mm (according to AEM, which I agree with after I tried a bolt that size). However, no fittings/adapters go from 12x1.25mm to -10AN. Soooo I tried the Autometer 1/8th adapter fitting that is usually used for mounting a pressure gauge while using the banjo bolt on the filter, and it fit perfectly. Conclusion: a 1/8NPT adpater fitting is what I need.
