Default 255lph in line pump install, need fitting suggestions

http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...=&pgGrp=search

I'm installing this inline pump and don't want to use the barb fittings. Jegs support didn't want to suggest anything " or it voids warranty... blah blah...."

I'm looking for compression fittings that would connect to 3/8 steel tube. Anyone have any part numbers?

Looks like an 044 knock off, which has straight ORB threads as well. Which if it is, they are wacky metric.. M18x1.5 inlet, M12x1.5 outlet

I would call jegs are bother then till they give you a spec sheet.

The inlets are 10mm x 1
I'm looking for a fitting that is 10mm x 1 to 3/8 compression that can hold 70psi

Will be a cluster of crap, but here, maybe this would work for you.

From steel fuel line

From female 3/8 NPT to 6an
Amazon.com: JEGS Performance Products 110333 -6AN Female to 3/8" NPT Male Adapter: Automotive Amazon.com: JEGS Performance Products 110333 -6AN Female to 3/8" NPT Male Adapter: Automotive

And finally 6an to the metric

Pricey.

Thanks Show, if I had to use the barb fitting, I would use the SS braided line to connect to the 3/8 hard line.

Do I need to double flare the the 3/8 steel line then slip the SD braided line onto it (lastly good clamp to secure)? I've never installed an inline pump before.

I would get that compression fitting I linked above and then a NPT fitting to barb. Then use a hose to connect to the fuel pump barbed fitting.

Personally, I would return it and do something intank but without knowing what your situation is, IDK if thats possible.
