Hello All,
I am replacing a fuel system with a 6 port switch, 3 pumps and 2 filters to just a HP fuel pump, filter and a transfer pump. I am running 2 tanks.
I went to replace the fuel injection hose at the engine and found a bard fitting with NPT threads in the fuel rail. This is for the inlet and outlet side of the fuel rail. I was thinking of using AN fittings with the standard o-ring push on fitting into the fuel rail. But, I found NPT fittings!
Should I get a AN fitting with NPT threads and use that on the fuel rail? I was surprised to find this and not sure what to make of it.
On a side note. Is it O.K. or safe to use the fuel injection hose barb off the fuel rail? What if I just stayed with fuel injection hose and set it up the way I found it? I would really like to use SS braided line for the inlet and return lines. For braided lines I would use the AN fittings. It just seems like a more durable solution. At least the PO did not use worm clamps here like he did on all the other fuel lines.
Thanks, Starman
