Hello,

In another thread there was discussion of using Dorman nylon fittings and tubing to plumb the fuel and evap. system. I'm planning on doing just that on my '82 S-10 truck / L33 swap. I was considering PTFE hose/AN fittings but I think the nylon tubing/fittings will look more in place on a mostly stock looking engine, and it will definitely be cheaper! My setup has the returnless system, so I'll be using the Corvette fuel filter/regulator.

That filter has a female connection on its outlet to go to the fuel rail.

I can't find a fitting in the Dorman catalog that looks like what I think that fitting should look like, but I'm probably overlooking it.

Russell makes a fitting for this, to go from 3/8" quick-disconnect to -6 AN (Russell 640940), but I'm not sure how I'd reasonably connect that to 3/8" nylon tubing. I've seen -6 AN to 3/8" hose barb so I suppose that would work (assuming I can get the nylon tubing over that particular hose barb, given it was designed for rubber hose not nylon tubing).



I've also seen this fitting that goes to 3/8" NPT (Russell 640690 3/8" NPT Male to 3/8" SAE Quick-Disconnect Male Push-On EFI Fitting), so I would then need an adapter to go from that to hose barb for the nylon tubing.




Thoughts?

Search for a shorter one or bend to suit your needs and location.

Could probably use Dorman 800-155:



It has two male ends so you can connect one end into the regulator and use a female nylon fitting for the other end.

I used that piece pictured above by MuhThugga to connect the line to the filter outlet. I found it in the HELP section at Autozone.

Good info.

Does anyone happen to know the simplest way to plug into a fuel pressure fitting? I've been looking around it seems like everything requires multiple fittings to make it from a quick-connect end to a block with a sensor opening. All I can find so far is this, but details about the port sizes and threaded area are scarce. http://toolaid.com/product/37670

There is also this to put on the rails, but it's pretty pricey (I need two places to put sensors). https://www.aeromotiveinc.com/produc...8-access-port/
