Buyin AN fittings suck!

[4Jenna]

I spent 400$ today in ****in AN fittings, these damn cars will nickle and dime you to death!
ERRRRRRRRRRRrr UGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

For my fuel sys (I pieced it together) cheaper than a kit..but still

 

[SeventyMach1]

Wow! How many did you have to buy?

 

[4Jenna]

Over 40 fittings

over 40 fittings in a fuel system... even with getting both male and female fittings for every conn. 20 total connections still seems kinda like alot??? I remember getting some for the wet kit when I was putting it together and they arnt cheap and there are soooo many

 

[4Jenna]

You have to think..I ran a FEED and RETURN.
Now -10 **** isnt cheap..that sucked
Two Y-Blocks for dual inline pumps...that make 12-13 more fittings or so
I also did bulkheads before the bay..fittings for the rails, filters, etc etc

 

[blksn955.o]

ahhh...was thinking about a basic but larger stock setup, like single pump, filter, main line, reg., rails, return.

Sounds like a NASTY fuel system...hope you post some pics

thats a lot for just fittings

 

[stprorolla49]

yea they are so much $$ its rediculous....we spent like $200 on like 10 fittings for the fuel system on the chevelle....you have to admit tho, they look cool as hell

 

[4Jenna]

Yes they look nice and work great..virtualy leak free.

I was thinking..really..the fittings make up 1/2 the sys..other than that its line and your hard components (which AN fittings are needed for)

Atleast I got what I need, and this sys is good for 900hp so no worries

I hear ya on the fittings and system in general.

Twin Pierburgs, sumped tank, SX filter, SX regulator and aeromtive rails.

Make sure you feed and return off the rails individually.

Too bad I had a bunch of leftover -10 -8 -6 fittings.

Great pics Matt!
I'll be running the same regulator, and yes i went in on the pass. side rear for the feed, X'd in front, and exited the drivers rear for the return!

Chris.

What I did was run a single -8 to the engine compartment then used a billet Y block with 2 -8's to each rail. Then a -6 From each rail back to the regulator with a -6 return to the tank. Feeding both rails seperate guarantees no fuel starvation to the second rail.
