a few question about AN fittings and the fuel rail AN connection
well i found the link for the fuel rail spring connector. http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...h.asp&x=42&y=8
the only thing that confused me was the picture in "the beast" ( http://matt.undiagnosed.org/ls1/fuel.html ) was that it had a red piece on the intake side. what is the purpose of this?
also, what are the pieces that connect to the fuel filter/regulator called?
sorry for the dumb questions

is this what i need?
i think this is too much of a headache and i clearly dont understand anything with these damn AN fittings. should i just ditch AN fittings and just go for the rubber black hose and clamps?

I used the Russell quick adapter, but for my Fuel Rail.. I brazed on a AN fitting and now just screw on a Hose with a AN Fitting.. IMO I don't really need a Quick DQ, How offen do I need to remove the fuel line from the rail ??? If I had to do it again, I would have also done it to my Fuel sender line. would have save myself a few $$$ not using the Quick DQ adapters.

When I did mine, I stripped the LS1 fuel rail fitting and used an compression to AN fitting.
On my current project, I will use the LS1 quick disconnect fitting only this time I will take it Pirtek and have them crimp a EFI fuel hose on there. That hose will then go to the regulator where I will have them crimp another quick disconnect fitting.I will get these off rails in the salvage yard. Clean,simple,cheap and less likely to leak.
The way I see it, the best way to plumb a fuel system is keep the number of joints/fittings to a minimum because every one has potential to leak.

You should be able to get those at any auto parts store. I bought a long one with the ring on both ends and cut it in the middle in case I ever need another one.

We carry the fitting and have had plenty of success, The plastic lock design is used in factory applications all the time. Not saying it is the best or worst configuration but it does work pretty darn good. If you are affraid of this may I suggest a hard tube to -6 compression fitting?

All I can tell you is the one I had popped off. It may have not been the plastic insert, but thr aluminum body of fitting slightly too big, causing detent not to be as firm. I switched to the stock corvette line, which seems much more secure. I also added security lock which are on C6's.(not shown in picture)[

Accidents do happen, No saying it did not I was just stating the other side of the spectrum where I have had great success with them. If you bought the unit from us I would gladly take it back in exchange.
