Fuel Line Flare Tool for TBI

[tys]

Hey guys...I'm putting a TBI into a non-TBI vehicle. The TBI came with the hard to braided stainless fuel lines, which I'd like to use. I tried connecting my existing hard line to the stainless line, but it wouldn't work. Looks like it requires a special flared end w/o-ring (similar to the end which goes into the TBI). Anyone know what I'm talking about?

The easiest solution may be to get the last few inches of hard line from a donor truck, then splice that into the existing hard line on your truck so that the flex line can be hooked up. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

and TBI system in stock form is around 9-13 PSI so you can rubber hose and hose clamp the system without worry.

good luck

Or the other option is what i did twice now...donor fuel lines froma 87 to 91 K5...yes...that means the Chalet is allmost done... /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

<font color="blue">You can buy 12" fuel line repair kits complete with o-ring flared end, male fitting and a coupler for about $12 a peice at your local Napa. This is how I hooked my home made lines to my TPI fuel rails

I pieced mine using ends from a donor truck and common brake/fuel lines from the parts house.

Thanks. I will stop over there in the next couple days to check them out. Need a fuel pump relay anyways!
