Default quick connect fitting for tanks in fuel module??

Been searching for quite awhile and cant find what I'm looking for.

I have a tanks in fuel injection tank and I need to connect the fuel pump module to a corvette regulator/filter. I want to use plastic lines and I'm looking for fittings to screw into the pump module (1/4" npt I believe) that will let me connect the plastic line quick connect.

I know someone has done this!


Thanks


This is the fuel module:

I don't believe there is a quick connect fuel line to NPT fitting. You'll have to double up.


For example:

From your tank you will need a 1/4" NPT - to - male -6 AN which you would then connect a female -6 AN to Quick connect.


This connect to the tank/pump: https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/rus-660443

This connects to your fuel line: https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/rus-611203/


The above is if you want to connect the filter/regulator, directly to the tank - without any hose/line in between.

I have that same sender in my car, and what I did was cut off about an inch and a half or so of some fuel lines where the quick connect hooks on it, and then brazed them to the NPT fitting that screws into the sender. I wanted the quick connects as close as possible so that the sender would be able to come out of the factory hole in the floor. I used factory plastic quick connect fittings and it worked out great. I could change the pump out on the side of the road in less than a half hour with only a couple of screwdrivers.

Here's what I did, with all part #s etc. Haven't started the car yet, but I'm really happy with the way it came out.

That's a great idea brazing the male quick connect fuel line onto the fittings. That would solve the one thing I don't like about my setup (the pressure and return fittings at the sender do not swivel).
