FPR install Push on Style

[CvicKila02]

Okay,
I want to install my Aeromotive FPR, but my setup is for my old 1G and I now have a 2G. I have the adapter for the fuel rail that plugs into the end to a -6 AN size. I don’t really want to go to the expense of getting a 1’ stainless steel line and adapters to get to my FRP on the fire wall. I was looking at JEGS and they have Earl's Super Stock Push-On Hose End Fittings I was thinking of attaching a 90 degree bend -6 AN size to the end of the fuel rail and running 3/8 fuel line from the end to another 90 degree bend that will attach to the FPR. Will this work? Has anyone used a press on style fuel line before the FPR?

It will work I have the same fittings on my car. Make sure you get the pushlock hose, or you will have a hard time getting it on the fittings.

Why wouldn't regular 3/8" hose fit? Regular hose is like $4 as oposed to $21 for a 6' of the Pushlock kind.

It's not the same diameter. I couldn't get regular hose on the pushlock fittings, it was way to tight.

You can just use brass flare-to-barb fittings and attach some standard 1/4" or 3/8" fuel line with hose clamps. That configuration stands up to the insane fuel pressures FMUs put on our 420A-turbo cars. I was also able to find both 1/4" and 3/8" line at any of the local auto parts stores.

3/8's in fuel line has always worked for me in on -6an pushlock fittings where the actual Earls hose is not needed. In fact, I have 3/8's in fuel line running on -6 pushlock fittings for my crank breather system now.
