I have a 95 with the two fuel lines. Supply and return. I'm using the truck ls intake, so I have a return line on my fuel rail. I can't seem to find anything to connect to the factory fuel lines on my truck? I have the pieces to go from the push-loc to barb on the intake fuel rail. But can't find anything to screw into the truck's fuel lines. Do I need to cut them and then flare them?
Cut them and use a compression fitting.
Your trucks fuel lines have the male end of the GM oring flair; cut that off and use your flairing tool to make the ISO bubble end. Then use some fuel high pressure fuel injection hose to complete the connection.Quote:

Easy peasy right ?
Thanks guys! I was trying to avoid compression fittings just for the look. Thanks for the diagram silverado_lover! That answers any possible questions.
old pic of my fuel lines. no compression fittings
That pic is too small, can you post a larger version

lol i just seen it...im still having problems with this thing and these fuel lines. i used a tube cutter and cut the lines what i dont understand it how you connect the steel braided hose to the connectors is there something im missing
If you cut the steel tubing you'll need to order some compression fittings with female thread on the opposite end.
compression fittings??? um...lol part number? picture? i got rubber fuel hose with metal clamps to my corvette filter. not liking it too much!Quote:

i used the rubber hose from autozone and the doorman quick connect.Quote:

i plan on ordering the steel braided hose and some of the blue and red fitting things..i have it hooked up under the truck now but i hate the way it looks and i dont think it will hold up very well,.
sorry for thread jacking
High pressure rated fuel injection hose, I hope. You can use what you have though many prefer to use braided or 300 psi hose with AN fittings, that's what i have done on my 2007 truck but not using a corvette filter this time since I'm running two complete fuel systems to the rails. As I've said, there are many ways to tackle this. Which way are you approaching this, most cost efficient or most sturdy? I have run FI hose on many vehicles without issue. I only use enough hose to couple the quick connects to the filter and the fuel line. As for sturdy you can go to a compression fitting to the steel lines with an AN fitting on the output side and then to 300psi fuel hose. The blue AN style fuel quick connects work well, too.
i want something reliable that will hold up up against me with a heavy foot and having a truck im not afraid of speed bumps or curbs.i like the look of the steel braided hose. do you have a part number or a link for the compression fittings?Quote:
