R2.8 Fuel Line Fittings (Group Buy?)

[theShaytoon]

I've been looking for an alternative for the Plastic Fuel Fittings that come with the Cummins, there is one for the inlet and one for the return... They are these funky barb fittings that I was not a fan of...wanted AN fittings.

Anyways, @dkemm found them across the pond. Price is not too bad, about $23 each, but the shipping is another $40. Again, not the too bad, but I wanted to put it out there... Does anyone else want a set to offset the hassle and the shipping costs? I'll order the set and put them in the mail for you...

Check them out...

there are a few types

The Russell's definitely do not fit. Tried them, they are too long.

I have not tried the racetronix, I assumed these are all for the EFi systems and are the same size. The male connector on the R2.8 is too short.

Maybe @dkemm or @MountainD can chime in, as I know we were all looking for a solution.

whether it's fuel or brakes, I hate to add another connection or potential failure point into a system, but.... this has potential, however length isn't listed https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/110558/10002/-1

@rocky , I could not agree more.

I think we were just trying to eliminate a plastic barb fitting with a better solution. This actually does not add an extra connector. Well unless you are calling the female hose end another connection, which it is technically.

@rocky I did consider one of those which I did do via a 10AN connection to the Power Steering supply line (yeah, I know that is a low pressure connection--I just want the look and ease of disassembly...). So it is a viable solution and one that I think would fit. It just isn't as graceful IMHO as it also now has a compressed olive on the line that would take a bit to cut off if ever need be. Just not my flavor but saves a number of dollars....
