Need help with fuel lines.
Hey everybody, long time no talk. Havnt run the ROC in awhile. Getting around to running it again and noticed rubber lines between steel fuel lines on fender and fuel rail going to runners were cracked. I need to know what adapters I need to run briaded hoses as GM no longer carries these hoses, at least not the high pressure side. I think I need a 6-AN adapter. How many adapters do I need and how much length in hose. You guys have always helped out before so I turn to you. Thanks again, any help really appreciated, I wanna get this thing on the road again and not worry about FIRE.

the supply is 3/8th inch and return is 5/16th
I have not found a fitting yet that worked well with from the hardline to an hose. They most certainly exist but I have been searching for exact PN's for my own setup.

Accel P/N 74730 has one 3/8 Saginaw to -6 AN adapter, and one 5/16 Saginaw to -6 AN adapter to connect the hoses to the fuel rail. On the hard-line end, you could cut and reflare the tube to -6 AN and -5 AN with a tube nut and sleeve, and use a -6 AN to -6 AN and a -6 AN to -5 AN union.

That is to mate to the rubber lines. The rubber lines are female on both ends.
The hardlines are male ends. So we need female sag connectors.

The adapters are for the fuel rail. I'm talking about replacing the rubber lines and the hard lines under the throttle body. If you don't want to replace the hard lines, cut and reflare them to AN.

I used both of these on a TPI sending unit to go to braided stainless. If it's the same end up front then these should work.

Ok, went today and had to order those adapters through Murrays. I ordered 2 of the DBH & DBJ Earls. When they come in I'll go ahead and get the Braided fuel line and connectors that go with it. Hope this works. Wanna drive the ROC around again.
