Fuel stuff showed up. I also stumbled upon enough funding to hopefully finish the engine/turbo kit in its entirety. We will see how far it'll carry me!

Hmm. Have you seen these before? May be able to return stuffs and come out ahead with these.

Well, if you took each of those hoses and cut the ends off, you'd get what I need. No longer running factory rails, which is what those plug in to. I just need to find some line that is gasoline compatible.

And I forgot to bring my 'inheritance' check with me today. I was gonna deposit it at lunch and go on a spending spree, Ohhh well.

I could be wrong, but I think the efi connection on one end of that hose unscrews leaving an AN fitting you could screw into your rail. That's why i said return all the other stuff for credit on these. But I'm not certain. It may indeed be cheaper to buy hose, then again it might not. :shrug:

Edit: after a second look, yeah I was right. They are just two premade -AN fuel lines with screw on efi fittings. If it were me, I'd tally up what you spent money on and see if it's cheaper. They will work.

I looked at what I bought versus those. It's close, within $10.
 
I would love to see the markup on any of the stainless braided hose.

Check ebay.... I was just looking at 6an line with fittings 73$....

Made in China though, prolly right next to where the ones you just bought were made.
