Fuel Line Fitting Help.
Fuel Line Fitting Help. I have a 72 Cutlass that I swapped an LS1 into. I have a 3/8" stainless steel line run front to back and I need to add fittings on there so I can add quick connect GM fuel fittings to them. I've read a few different ways on doing it. One way is to use a fitting from swagelok that basically crimps onto the line. The other is flaring it and using some sort of collar/ring and a connector. Not really sure. I'm very limited with the amount of space to install the fittings since one is below the trunk by the rear suspension and one below the brake lines by the master cylinder. Which is the best and easiest route to use and what size fittings do I need? Thanks in advance.

Considerably less $ than Swageloc, AIRC.
U can use these on the ends of the line, std -6 hose ends on the ends of the hoses, and use the Russell qds on the tank end[s]. Russell QD's accept -6 fittings.....Get the QD's with the metal, screw in retainers.. None of that plastic stuff is used here. Like these.......

Thanks. So these work the same way as those swageloks? Do you know if they make them with female ends? I would like to put the male quick connect ends so one can go straight into the fuel filter and one into the stock braided fuel line at the rail.
