Hi guys.
I need an adaptor for connecting my oem fuel fitting to an AN6 teflon fuel hose,
I have all the fittings aside from the quick connect to an6 to the hardline on the bulkhead, it seems to be smaller than the 5/16" used on the fuel rail connectors
A good guess would be that it's 6mm/ 1/4". Yet I'm really struggle to find one. Anybody else done this
[MENTION=1040]Jonezy[/MENTION] let's get these guys to chime in

That's a tough one I been looking
Actually, our BoostedK20 Si used the stock fuel fitting with the -6 K-Tuned rail. We used a Hybrid Racing adapter piece. Check that out, let me know if that's what you're looking for. http://www.hybrid-racing.com/store/engine/fuel-fittings [MENTION=1040]Jonezy[/MENTION]
Have you tried that ?

Fits perfectly on the FA5! Not sure about the EP3 though...
i just did a -6an or -8an from firewall to fuel rail
I just used a bunch of clamps cause back when I changed rails no one knew of a quick release fitting. But now you can buy them
Where exactly do you need this fitting to go? To connect the oem hardline to the bulkhead fitting at the cage?
Amlk - yes pal. I'm trying to run an an hose from the bulkhead hardline. As I'm using teflon line it doesn't clamp down as well as rubber stuff,
[MENTION=28]Spaz[/MENTION] - that looks the size pal. I measured it with caliper as 6.1mm I think, which is near as dammit 1/4".
Thanks for the input. Just got to find one this side of the pond!
What do you mean from the bulkhead hardline? When you say bulkhead, I think of a bulkhead fitting which you have added to the top of the fuel cage, but I have a feeling you're not referring to that.Quote:

Why not make things easy and just concert the stock line to AN up closer to the rail where you know which size it is? That 2 feet or less of larger hose would hardly make a flow difference if any at all.Quote:

Not the best pics, but hopefully you can see where I mean
At least for the 8th gen (I would be surprised if it was different for your car):
To make the stock feed work, you need a Russell -6 AN male to 1/4" SAE Quick-disconnect female, part number 641303, I then used a Russell ProClassic -6 AN Straight Swivel Coupler, part number 640003 to connect it to the -6 AN ORB fitting on my FPR. This setup worked for me due to the placement of my FPR. If you put it somewhere in the bay other than on the side of the head, you may need to skip using the stock hose and make your own hose from the firewall to the FPR. The good news is, the same -6 AN male to 1/4" SAE Quick-disconnect female fitting can be used at the firewall to connect to your custom -6 AN hose if needed.

Hey fellas, totally forgot to report back, but that 1/4" Russel fitting was bang on perfect fit!
Cheers for all involved
Glad it worked!Quote:
