Fix for 3/8 fuel rail quick connect to AN fitting

[newport94]

Did this fix last night and I'm pretty pleased with the results.  I took the locking mechanism out of the 3/8 quick connect from NAPA (not sure about part numbers) and put it in the 3/8 to AN fitting from Russell.  It fits perfectly and will take a lot of force to pull it off than the ridiculous plastic insert that Russell uses.

is this the tube to -AN adapter that you are referring to?  The three piece unit that you tighten with a wrench?

He's talking about one of the Russel pieces that clicks on like a factory quick connect and has a -6 on the other side.    They come with a cheesy plastic piece that retains them.

His post says that whatever he put on, "It fits perfectly and will take a lot of force to pull it off than the ridiculous plastic insert that Russell uses"... so I think it's something different.

Yeah I put the metal retaining clip from the part from NAPA into the russell fitting.

Napa part number?

Found the part number.  730-4927 napa 3/8 quick disconnect fitting

lol i have mentioned doing this several times but no one took much notice.  the little metal retainer from the dorman (or apparently napa as well) fittings will work and isnt a sissy piece of crap like the plastic ones.

I wondered if anyone had tried this before.  Couldn't find anything amidst the many solutions.

That looks like a plastic clip, like the one from Earl's they're complaining about.

[wompa164]

People are complaining about the one from Russel, and it's possible that the one from Aeromotive in my link is of higher quality/better tolerances.. that was my point. I know it's plastic, but it's an alternative.

just do the tube compression fitting from russell

What's the part # for the Russel fitting?
