Fuel Line to Filter replacement

[epreski7]

Tried changing my fuel filter today and of course one of the previous owners rounded out the bottom bolt so I cant remove it. Is it possible for me to get a braided fuel line and connect it to the existing OEM fuel line under the car and then run the braided fuel line to my new filter. If anyone knows the exact size of the fastener that id need to get in order to connect the braided line to the filter because I cant seem to find that anywhere. Also if anyone knows what I would need to connect the braided line to the OEM fuel line. Need to do this quick since its my DD and its getting 160 miles a tank

Yea something like that but I don't want to do the whole thing I just want it to begin around halfway under the car then connect to the fuel filter

Then you would have to cut the stock fuel line as its one piece from the tank to the fuel filter. Then you would have to get a flare fitting and rent a flare tool at your local auto parts stores and flare the end of the cut line and then run a new line to the filter and so on.

I would just cut the old inverted flare off, replace the fitting and reflare the tube. Its a complete waste of money to run braided line just because of a stripped fitting.

Or you can use a pair of vice grips to remove and later tighten the same fitting if you dont want to replace it.

This is what I use to adapt to a aftermarket fuel filter. You would probably only tighten it once then use the AN fitting after that. Just another option.

Do you know if that would fit into the stock fuel filter?

That's what I was assuming only thing I need now is the size of the fitting that would go into the fuel filter

No it would adapt to a FuelLab or other filter with a AN fitting on it, so you could always cut it and reflare it with the proper tool.

You think its possible to find a fitting that would fit into the stock filter, problem is is that I spent $25 on a new one and I lost the box and the receipt so they wont take it back and don't want to spend anymore money then I need too
