Default Has anyone used these LS1 to AN fuel line adapters?

In trying to find a "bolt on" approach to plumbing the fuel lines on my LS1, i found these push on adapters.
Has anyone tried these?

Looks the same as the piece I bought from Street & Performance, which works great. You attach it to the fuel rail (I'm using an '01 rail which only has an inlet) and then plumb AN06 from there back.

I take it your talking about the 640850 3/8" hard tube (LT1, LT4, LS1 Pressure Side)
So the female end pushes onto the standard fuel line and seals.
The male end you connect up to a AN-6 female ended fuel line?

That's how the S&P one works.

5/16" hard tube (LT1, LT4, LS1 Return Side)
Did they start makin fuel rails stock with return lines now? Did they throw a pressure regulator at the end of the rail?

I think the 5/16" is to suit LT1/4 cars like stated and also earlier LS1 cars with the return lines, also can use the 5/16" fitting on the return port if using a vette regulator/filter.

'97-98 Vettes had feed + return rail plumbing.

Back on the adaptor topic, why not just use the russel hard line adaptors, there about $8 each and you dont need to flare the tube, will do the same job.

I used some pretty slick aluminum adapters from Godman Performance. They push on and have the same oring seal and plastic locking device as the stock lines. The only problem is they're alittle expensive $40 for two of them.

I ordered the Russells adapter from summit back on Dec 28. It is on back order and they keep changing the expected ship date, It is now expected to ship 3/13/05. It is much cheaper than most others, $13 from Summit.

I am using one... works great.

It was $21 from some place in AZ, sliped right on, clicked into place and works leak free.

There is no mod to the fuel rail and I feel is better and safer than other options.
