Small leak in the hard-line that attaches to the fuel pump hanger

I don't want to upgrade the entire fuel line to the STM -6AN kit, but I do want to fix the leak

Post 2 on the following thread - http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/bolt-tech/370847-fuel-sending-unit-fitting.html#post152208908

Uses -6AN fittings to solve the problem, I'm looking to do something similar

What I'm trying to figure out, is what I'll need from the -6AN fitting on the bulk-head in order to connect it to the stock fuel line

(someone correct me if I'm wrong)

• Right before the fuel pump the stock fuel-line uses a flared fitting with male M14x1.5 threads
• connects to a section of fuel hose that uses female M14x1.5 thread fittings on both sides
• then connects to the male M14x1.5 flared fitting that then attaches to the fuel pump hanger (this last section is what I'm trying to replace)

any ideas?

you can buy metal line from the auto parts store with the endings you need (flares and male piece) and use a bender (or if its copper some upper body strength) and make the line the same shape as the broken one. Just take it off and use it as a template.

the broken part in the line is right above the fuel pump hanger (the plate that mates with the fuel tank), it's a pin-hole leak that's about 1/4" away from the plate

I see what your saying now sorry. You could buy it non flared and put on the male fitting then flare it yourself after?
