Converting quick connects on HP fuel pump

[RRiddle]

how do I, what do I need to convert the fuel hoses off the High pressure fuel pump (engine mounted) to A/N fittings and hoses, hose has broke twice, tired of ordering and waiting for parts one hose has the yellow square connect the other the blue sleeve type connect is there away to do it, or can I use fuel line and hose clamps

That's all you my man. Has not been done before. And no, hose clamps won't work.

I am working on this as well. They have the quick disconnect AN fittings. I think our "hard tubes" are 5/16ths. You can get them at Jegs, Vibrant or Summit. I will be knocking this out here shortly as well.

let know how it work, no local availability here so don't want to order a bunch of parts that wont work

Updates?

Search for a Versatune e85 flex fuel thread, IIRC there were some pictures of fuel lines with AN fittings?

push lock vs. screw in type.


Ordered them today, should get them in a couple days...

The push on to -AN will work.

I have personally seen them used on a couple big builds, of people who are no longer on the forum.

And as a matter of fact, SP includes them in their Port injection kit.

I will be re-working my fuel system with these this weekend. As was mentioned, 5/16" is the correct size. I believe you could also remove the EFI fitting from the HPFP and likely replace it with a -AN union of some sort, but I elected to use push on EFi fittings on both ends.

Quick ordering tip, the Vibrant fittings drop ship when ordered from both Jegs and Summit. The Vibrant fittings I ordered from Jegs before the holidays still have not shipped, or at least tracking info has not been provided. Saturday I ordered Russel fittings via Amazon, and they arrived yesterday. So if you're in a hurry, avoid Vibrant fittings via Jegs or Summit.

If anyone needs pictures or any info about the install, post up and I'll try to take notes and pictures when I do it this week.

Sorry for necro everyone. Did you ever get this finished Wetz, and could you give us a nice BOM for it?

Do either of these styles work on our fittings? Is there any advantage/disadvantage to one or the other?
