I get this a lot, especially from the turbo guys wanting to clean up the engine bay by getting rid of the ugly stock filter. This makes it a lot easier when hooking up catch can lines also.

Tool needed to cut the hard line.


Here's what it looks like after you cut the hard line. Make sure to use a file to debur all around the edge. Please do not use a cut off wheel or anything that will spark, unless you want your car and house to go up in flames.


After that is done you can slide the male socket over the hard line, then put the ferrule over the line. It will be a tight fit, if it doesn't fit, file the edges down a little more and tap it on with a rubber mallet.


Then just take the male fitting and tighten down onto the red socket.


Here it is with the line attached to the fuel filter. Just waiting to drop the motor in to attach the outlet side of the fuel filter to the fuel rail.

 

nice simple and effective

 

price?

 

Please PM me for price.

 

Exactly.

Very nice little kit for someone who wants to get around the stock filter without flaring the hard line.

 

this is an informative thread dont ask anything about price, it's more of a how-to

 

Sorry about that

 

I've seen a compression fitting like that before, maybe 2 years ago. IIRC it was developed expressly for our metric fuel lines. I'd just be concerned the simple "barrel" ferrule/ring leaking. I'm more of a ribbed ferrule type of guy.

Good for surge tanks or the ever-popular engine bay shaving. Do you have a brand name and/or part number for that fitting?

 

Got something that fits the return line as well?

What are these rated to? Holding PSI? (till it leaks)?

 

very nice!

 

Looks very good. I will order mine pretty soon.

 

i like it...just concerned about leakes as well

 

The adapter is good for 100psi no problem. Anything higher then I would recommend using steel braided hose directly from the fuel pump.

 

We will be coming out with a fitting for the return line. No one makes them right now because its a weird mm size.

 

This is the fitting I used on my car but I used a GM fuel filter.

 

nice! pm me a price...thanks
