Yup, I've seen that pic quiet a few times. But that's not that same corvette hose, right? I'm trying to use only factory quick DC lines. I'd rather not use any hose barbs or clamps if I can.

Is the fitting on the fuel rail 3/8 or 5/16 quick DC?

Thanks for the visual. Depending where you buy that hose from, it might be cheaper, and better looking, to buy two nice -6AN fittings and two feet of hose. Where did you buy yours from? I can only find them for $50-60.

So is the quick connect fitting on the rail 5/16? Just like the larger feed line from the tank?

It gives u just enough room to relocate it somewhere, and still use both of the factory in/out fuel hoses. But i cant find the thread now.

I did end up building a line with AN fittings and some stainless hose. I'll get pics later today between jobs.
