Looks like your running stock rails? Just plug it in, one of those goes into the intake(the one with the little canister) that is your negative pull on the gas tank fumes out of the tank, it comes from the charcoal canister above your gas tank. If your running aftermarket rails, or you just want to have a braided line for the fuel feed to the rails, they do make adapters to turn the stock connections into -an fittings.

the kit mentioned if memory serves me is a replacement for the rubber lines, and the kit has connecters for the metal hardline to the tank and the connector off the rails. so you are essentially replacing the rubber lines with the steel braided ones from the kit.

Is the other line you are talking about the unit with emissions shrader cap? This is used to purge tank emissions, I would not suggest leaving it uncapped as you will have a gas smell. You can use the russel adapters to convert your stock hard line to braided, they make a quick connect or you can use a compression style fitting.... Why are you replacing the stock line with a stock rail? Asthetics?

oh no....i am just trying to gauge how much these silly fittings are going to cost me.....there are several choices in the fuel rail area but not the fittings....i really need close pics on the steel braided lines to decide on whether or not i want to do it
and how are the fumes "vented" if that emissions box isnt on there????
