Fuel lines & filter

Post by Justin »

Any of you come up with a clever solution for the fuel system? I've got a 3/8" steel line in place and am trying to decide between re-using that with 6AN fittings and braided hose or running a new factory nylon line. I've already got a bunch of 6AN fittings, so cost is probably equal. The kicker is that I'd need to come up with a way to set up the fuel filter so that I'm not having to change fittings every time I want to change the filter. Anyone have a compact solution for a spin-on fuel filter (the ones that look like an oil filter)?

I run steel lines with an compression fittings on each end. Then run ptfe hose. I am running a filter that has an fittings on each end.

Do you have pictures of the OEM spin on filter assembly?

I used the inline push-to-connect filter assm with Dorman OE style quick connects. Russells makes Quick disco to AN adapters for interfacing with OE fittings.

I don't have the assembly yet, that's the main thing I'm trying to figure out.
