hey what about calling the GM parts dealer, ask him to look up the line that is used on the 85-87 GN's, those cars used the accufab reg. maybe theres stock somewhere? worth a shot.
also dont forget hose barbs have sharp edges that can cut into the fuel lines, another reason not to use a hose barb with fuel.
works for me, ill go for that shipped for that price of course ( but if you are gonna go through the trouble,) a normal pipe flared end to the hose would be perfect, nothing out there i can find. just make sure it fits the FRP. I dunno if a GM parts dealer would be able to even find me one and if they the stock lines on a gm are 3/8 i think
My 90' 2.5 TI shadow had the proper size fitting with 1/4" barb on it.
found a gm fitting today of a 3.1 MFI car that seems to be right, not the oringed kind, but same thread and a flared end
does the fitting on ur car have an o-ring, is it a metric thread or is it a AN or is it one thats like power steering. the one i pulled today the thread is good, the fitting base is flat. just wna see what you have installed before i do it and it leaks or somethingOriginally Posted by Xtrempickup
The part in that pic won't work, you need the fuel line side with the o-ring.

Simon's right, that fitting is gonna leak.
i bet so far so good tho i have that thing so tight if its gonna leak i guess i will see it
WEll guess what, I ordered a -6AN fitting and it doesnt Fit. where the heck does everyone get their misinformation. how come i cant find the correct thread size nad pitch whatever anyplace on the accufab site or buick sites or what not. doesnt make much sense to have no listing of size
It's 3/8 NPT, thats why you can't find it in AN. Go to your local hardware store and get a 3/8 NPT to barb brass fitting. Works like a charm, just use good teflon tape.
npt will never seal, i sell NPT, tahst the first thing i checked when i was looking for a cheap fitting. 1/4 is the one that fits and its loose, 3/8 will never turn into that opening
Eh, I couldn't remember if it was 1/4 or 3/8. I am using NPT, and it works like a champ.
i tried it first and found it was loose, i wont risk leaking using teflon with fuel. what i have now is tight, not right but ill watch it and see , if it doesnt leak, im never removing it to try to fix
There is no misinformation here. Just people who don't want to listen. I told you what to look for, and then I believe that iturbo gave the exact thread pitch and size on the previous page. You can lead a horse to water...
got 2 from from a 2.5TI car thats about 90-91 now its done, thanks for that bit of correct info, anybody who needs one i have an extra
Dont Use Npt Threaded Fittings With A Straight-threaded Afpr, You Are Asking For An Engine Fire.
Please Dont Give Folks This Horrible Tech "help".
i used the correct things finally, 2.5L cars have the oringed fitting with the line on it the correct size
