Default Comparing pushlock fuel line brands...

So i was wondering if the Summit brand "twist tite" fuel line will work with the same fittings the work with my Aeromotive pushlock hose. I have a small piece of aeromotive pushlock hose and fittings that work with that and would like to use the summit "twist tite" to save around $25 but just curious as the summit mag faintly says it should be used with their "twist tite" fittings.

Anybody have experiece witht the summit brand?

Thanks!

Same question.

Anyone use summit twist-tite from fuel injection pump to engine? Good or bad experience? Seems similar to the Fragola 8000 but at 2/3 the price.

I used twist-tite on my trans cooler lines, but that's about as far as i'd trust it.

Im running the Twist-tite summit brand and it is just like the twist-lok line I have used in the past, and using the same types of fittings for both.

Aren't tranny lines higher temp and pressure than fuel lines? If the summit stuff works for tranny lines it should be overkill for fuel lines, or am I missing something. Do not want to go cheap, but also do not want to waste any money.

Use the same brand throughout and dont play games.


I use Earls throughout, and have zero problems.
