I am looking for a flaring nut so that I can adapt my stock fuel line to a fuel lab filter. Does anyone know the diameter of the stock fuel line.
 
It's a 5/16 line.I used a metric to an adapter and it worked really well. I bought it from JEGS for $8.00
 
The fuel line is an inverted flare. That metric o-ring fitting is made to fit an o-ring on the outside, just like a o-ring port plug on a AFPR, not put an o-ring inside to hope to get it to seal against a flare. I also recommend this : Mitsubishi Evo/Eclipse DSM Metric to -6AN Fuel Line Adaptor [TN-DSM6I] - $24.99 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce if you are keeping the stock metric tube nut on there, along with a -6 AN female coupler. Fuel is not something you want to half-ass.

Cool!:thumb: Thanks for the clarification there ramsack and sorry to mislead in any way.:coy:
 
I've seen some people lucky enough to put some sort of fiber gasket in those o-ring fittings to seal it up, but I personally wouldn't trust it, especially not in the engine bay. It's one thing for people to do it half-ass back at the tank where there is no heat or possible sparks.

I will soon be replacing my line with 3/8" SS solid tubing because everything behind the fire wall is rusted and brittle. I already have had to cut out and patch in a new piece. I used compression fittings and it wasn't meant to be permanent. I'll be doing the brake lines (3/16") and the return line (5/16") as well in stainless hard tubing. I also had to patch the brake lines. If I had the option to keep the stock line I would definitely go with that TunersNation part. I had forgotten about it when I made my first post.
 
Then why do they list that it includes an o-ring? I don't believe that fitting has a flare inside of it.
 
Hmm, good point. I dont know why they listed that as an inverted flare adapter. I wonder if theres a typo in there somewhere. Perhaps I should give them a call or ask for a picture of the seat within the female side...

Thanks for your Help. I went ahead and purchased this. Like you said fuel isn't something that you wanna half ass, I had actually talked to Bryan at STM and this is what he actually recommened me to get as well,
