AN adaptors???
#1
I'm looking for a 90 deg. -8AN female to -6 hose barb (-8 onto the fuel cell but running 3/8" fuel hose to my low pressure pump that has nipple for 3/8" hose). All of the fittings I can find are for -8 to -8 or -6 to -6, but no conversions.

If nothing else, what about doing an in-line barb from 1/2" to 3/8" - do they make inline fittings with different size barbs on each end? If so, I have not found them at summit yet. It may be something Napa will have on the shelf though.

Next problem....
I'm using a low pressure pump to prime my high pressure pump. I'm running normal 3/8" fuel hose from the fuel cell, through a filter, through the LP pump and into the HP pump. My HP pump has an outlet barb designed for 3/8" line, but dummy me only has -8 braided steel line to run my HP through. I think my only solution here is an in-line barb to barb adapter Confusedcratchhe:

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I will check out Chas rubber/gasket...they have the whole selection on an fittings. I dont think anyone does a inline hose barb with 2 different hose barbs on either side...never seen one.

Summit lists this one. It is a "socketless" adapter which means you don't have to clamp the hose. I will work with regular fuel hose but also has its style hose if you need it. I'm sure that CV products, BSR, or Dave Jensen's has them in stock here locally. Would probably a bit out of your way for $4 fitting.

I found some 1/2 to 3/8 barb fittings at Lowes - brass so it should be good for the high pressure too. If not, I'll go with Aaron's route.
