Default Quick Disconnect fuel lines

So,

I searched and read all about the converters and such for the hard line connections on Gen III motors and fuel systems. What I want to know is where can you actually buy the quick connector that can be put on the end of a braided line I already have? And what specialty tool will it need to crimp it?

There should be no reason to buy a crimping tool

Both Russell and Aeromotive sell the 5/16 and 3/8 quick connect to A/N
(Russell -6/Aeromotive -8)

buy whatever size for the line you have

So on my new line I put a -6 fitting, then I buy a quick disconnect to -6, and boom, she works?

Leon,

Not sure how I pissed you off, but YES I have looked through both Jegs and Summit sites. Neither of them sell the actual quick connector that you can put on the end of a braided line that will plug right into the flex fuel sensor or motor end of the fuel rail, as far as I can see. If you say I am wrong why not be helpful and post a link to the exact product?

you didnt **** me off. i just thought the first place anyone would look is one of those 2 places. as far as i know (and i may be wrong) but i have never seen anyhting that is a quick connect that attaches dirctly to hard line and snaps on to the fuel rail.

the way i and others have done it, if you wat to connect a hard line (say 3/8 aluminum) russel makes a nice compresion fitting that gives you a female 6-an that then threads on to the one that snaps on to the rail. takes both fittings.

Leon,

Those are not what I was asking for. Please read my thread again. I said I wanted DIRECT connect quick connects. I know all about the quick connect to AN, then AN to my line. What I asked for was a quick connect that would connect DIRECTLY to my fuel line. I guess I will have to get the multiple connections, even though I don't think it looks very clean that way.

The problem is they dont make a quick disconnect that builds directly to the hose. You will always need the adapter, then the fitting on the end of the hose.

Only way to do direct would be to use a factory style hose.

alocker,

Thanks for confirming that. I was afraid I would not be able to get them, but had to ask. I guess I will have to go with the multiple adapter setup that most here are using.
