Default What fittings are needed for running a -8 feed line from tank?

Alright, need some help guys. I have the fast fuel rails with Aeromotive brfpr installed, all that is left is running the line to the pump hat at the tank. I have everything under the hood buttoned up, but no clue what fittings are needed for the fuel filter, in/out, or the quick disconnect at the pump hat. If anyone has a similar setup please let me know, I'm ready for 150mph traps next month!

Along with a Earl's straight female AN swivel coupling to connect the -6 and -8.

Awesome, thanks for the reply. What about fittings for the fuel filter? Do I need an aftermarket one or will a stock work? And what fittings are needed, hoping to get these last few things ordered tomorrow.

i have the same rails did you have any troubles mounting them? i have the stock hardware that fast sent me and they dont mount correctly is there any way you could post a picture of how it mounts to the ls6 intake? the way the bolts go it hits the bolts on the intake and wont be right. Its strange

I had clearance issues with the fpr hitting the bolt on the front of the intake so cut the boss off and cut some length off the bolt so it would still torque flush with the intake. Is this the issue you ran into? If so I can send pictures when I'm back in town this weekend

that might work if i cut the bolt but it kind of hits on both ends ya if you could send pics that would be awesome. Why would we even have to cut these anyways? for an expensive fuel rail they sure make it a pain in the ***!

^ I found a spot on the driver's side wheel well to fit the FPR. between the well and the fuse box. Right where it starts to flatten out. Was thinking about mounting it on the rail, but wouldn't clear the hood.

This is what FAST sent me


Our fuel rails are designed to work with the FAST intakes, not the stock
intakes.

Gotta love it. Glad i spent 200 bucks

yea that sucks. so will your rails not fit at all? The rails on mine fit fine, but now i'm concerned the brfpr will not clear the hood. if not i'll have to just mount it somewhere else, i should have plenty of -8 left but sick of buying these damn fittings.
