I'm going back to rubber fuel hoses b/c I just don't feel comfortable with regular hose clamps on SS fuel hoses. The rubber hoses will be wrapped with Firebraid, so safety will be maintained.

So does anyone know where I can pick up some quality fuel injection hoses, such as Goodyear?

Thanks in advance.

My local parts store stocks hi quality hose, might try one near you.

Or you might check with swagelok.

Look for tube fittings. unions. Connect one side to the (steel) METRIC tube in the body, have an stub crimped to your braided hoseand connect that to the other end.
Also have a look at their hoses to get the idea.
The end connection can most probably be made to your braised hoses by an nice local supplier as well.
Swagelok also supplies conversion unions: one end metric, one end imperial, (made in Switserland) so your local hydraulics shop can crimp an stocked imperial stub end to the hose.

Carefull: Don't swap the connections: have the metric end connected to the tube in the body!!!

Try essexparts.com if you would like to upgrade to aeroquip-style fittings. (AN?) Similar to the previous response. You may need some professional crimping, depending on the type of setup you want. I just received their catalog and it's got EVERYTHING!. (Brembo parts, fittings, clutches, etc) They cater to the racing crowd.

Thanks for the responses guys.

I'm just going to use the rubber hoses - if the factory ones lasted for so long, I think I will be fine. The local stores just seem to have regular fuel injection hoses in poorly packaged boxes, but I'll keep looking.

Does anyone know of any websites that sell rubber FI hoses?

Go here to find a Goodyear hose dealer near you:

Thanks Tom.

Now what size hoses do we need again? 3/8" and 5/16"? The SS hoses I have now are 6 AN and 8 AN. What's the equivalent ID in inches?

Mr. Avionics

AN 6 Hose is 3/8 inch, AN 8 Hose is 1/2 inch inside diameter.
All AN fittings are based on 1/16 inch increments for the most part.
ie. and AN 826-4D would be a 1/4" NPT to 1/4" flare nipple, made
out of aluminum. ...

Just for what it's worth,
Bill
