Fuel line fitting

I have a 91 z28. I am converting my fuel lines to -6 an ptfe lines. Can someone tell me what I need to connect a -6 ptfe hose to the stock hard fuel lines located on the driver side frame rail. Thanks in advance.

Re: Fuel line fitting

It'll take a lot more than 3/8" hose to support the flow of cow farts to run your engine.

Not sure what the cow line is all about. I'm choosing to ignore it.
EAR-9894DBHERL and EAR-9894DBJERL are the adapters for changing metric fittings to -6an

That's what kind of fuel comes from a stockyard by the riverside.

Point is words matter.

I'm not going to fault someone for one small typo and words that slipped in. BFD. It's the long paragraphs without punctuation or any sense of grammar that I can't bother to help.

Next time I'll be completely humorless so you can enjoy it more.

I actually just did this two days ago on my 99-02 plastic tank swap in my 87 IROC. I used jegs pro flo hose instead of ptfe but it should be mostly the same. I didn’t really trust the 35 year old rubber soft line that’s crimped onto the 3/8 feed line so I opted to remove it rather than use the -AN to metric fitting. I just cut the stock supply line rubber soft hose off right below where it crimped to the OE hardline. I used a 3/8 tube to -6AN Male fitting. It’s an Earls fitting rated for 250 psi, Jegs Part Number : 361-AT165006. For the hose side you’d need a PTFE -6 hose to -6 AN female swivel fitting. For the return I cut the fuel hose barb off of the line and used a similar -6 male to 5/16 tube fitting, only rated for 55 psi. Below you can see both the supply and return for my TPI. Came out pretty good.
