Getting the fitting to hook my billet rails (-6) to my stock fuel line (2001 Z28 3/8) and reading a lot of the fitting have problems with popping off and leaking over the years. Russell, aeromotive, ect... Some claim the fixed it, but people still have problems with them. Sounds like it the easy no tools plastic clip ones. Dose anyone make a better fitting that clips on better, I have no problem using the fuel line disconnect tool. But don't see and the OEM style connector that is -6 fitting

New Russell design. Lock threads into back. Rather then the clip.

Aeromotive were the best ones I ever used, and I had a lot of them on my old Camaro. Never leaked, always easy to connect/disconnect. The price was high though.

The Aeromotive quick disconnect fittings require an adapter, so you can make it -8 or -6AN as needed.

-6AN to -8ORB is Aeromotive part number 15605.

The new Russell's are far better than the Aeromotive I have several in stock.

If you don't mind destoying the stock line.
You can also solder or weld and AN fitting to the steel line.
You could use a repair fitting and weld to that too if it's out of sight.
Aeroquip makes an adapter line called versa flare that will go from tube to AN. ($5-$7)

It looks like the new Russell fittng has fixed the issue also.
