Looking for some fuel fittings off the TBI trucks. I need 4 total. The female ends that attach at the fuel pump. I also need the male fittings that go into the fuel filter on the frame. I don't want to spend the money on complete frame rail lines, it's not what I'm after, I just need the fittings.

If anyone has a parts truck or old rusted out lines they replaced with new ones, I'm looking for these fittings PLUS about 8" of line on each one. So the rubber would be cut back about 8" from the rear fittings. The metal tubing could be hacked off about 8" from the fuel filter fittings. :waytogo:

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about to help. :) Thanks :popcorn:

Your local auto parts store will have a repair line for the male end but I doubt you'll find any female ends unless from a parts truck.

Struck out at Kragen and Pepboys. Dealership laughed at me yesterday. Checking junkyard tomorrow, hopefully the rain puddles will have dried.
 
Do you have a NAPA near by? All of these fittings can be purchased at NAPA. I have done several EFI swaps and get all my fuel fitting there that way you can use factory type fuel filters. They may have to order the o-ring line couplers you have circled but they can get them.
 
I'll have to see. I don't have any NAPAs close by.

Checked the Napa closest to my house.
The guy said he got rid of all his misc fittings about a month ago. He can order from his book, but has no way to look up which fittings (size and thread) I would need.

He recommended I go to Home Depot with my pieces and find some Brass fittings normally used on gas lines etc.

Would that sound good enough? If not, I'm off to the junkyard soon with some "cuttin" tools.
 
stay far away from hardware store and that napa from now on with advice like that. :eek1::doah:

like i said its same flare as p/s lines that are on 80's - up gm trucks . and also lots of gm fuel lines in yards so go look there first.
 
I got all the fittings at the junkyard on Wednesday. Cost me 20some bucks, bastards. Then found that RockAuto has the male fittings!
