I'm attempting to replace the stock fuel line from the rail to the filter with a braided line. I know that russell's sells the pre-made kit, but it still retains the banjo fittings. Is it possible to get rid of the banjo fittings and use "straight" converters from lets say 12x1.25 to -6AN? In other words, can I thread in a straight piece into the fuel filter & fuel rail directly and then attach 90 degree bend fittings with a braided hose?

 

On the filter, positively yes. On the rail I would think so but I do not have any firsthand experience.

 

Thanks, do you know what type of fitting i'll need for the filter? It'll be like "insert thread here to - 6 AN" converter.

Can anyone confirm the rail?

 

I used a Earl's plumbing L fitting & threaded in perfect. I forgot the size of it though. I'll check on it though for ya.

 

hmm, yeah if you could check up on it that'd be great.

How about the stock fuel rail though?

 

okay so I found out that the fuel rail takes a fitting of 12mm x 1.25 which is great as there's a fitting for 12mm x 1.25 to - 6 AN, although quite expensive @ $21.

Now, I know the fuel filter takes a 12mm thread, can anyone confirm the pitch?
