I am currently running a -8AN for my fuel feed line and want to use the factory feed as the return as I have heard many people do to enlarge it. The question I have is how are people connecting it to the fuel pump hanger?
I believe the hose that slips over the factory return at the hanger is a 1/4in hose (correct me if I am wrong). So then I am fairly certain that I would need a M14 x 1.5 inverted male flare to 1/4in barb which they do not seem to make. The only one I can find is this one to a 5/16 barb:

So then I would need to rig together 2 fittings to reduce the 5/16 to 1/4 to attach to the fuel pump.
HOWEVER I have heard that a -6AN will thread into the factory feed line without leaking but wanted to ask if that is true before attempting it. If that is the case then I could just use a male -6AN to 1/4 hose barb and be done with it. If anyone knows or has another way to connect it please let me know. Thanks.
I know people do this all the time. Anyone have input on how they did theirs so I don't have to guess when I order fittings online?
