Where can I get clear fuel line?
Where can I get fittings to mate that line to hose so I can connect to things like fuel filter? (Esp the inserts that go into the line so it doesnt crush when clamped)
Is neoprene fuel line ok to use for transitioning from clear line to a filter or is there some other type of soft line that should be used.
I've seen people talk about hydraulic line. The only kind I've found so far is a milky white that you can not see thru.
sources appreciated.
Thanks!
The oem stuff is nylon. I recall reading somewhere that diesel will attack the Poly stuff.
McMaster Carr sells nylon tubing in bulk 25' lengths:
Part No. 8359K15
25' length: $12.50
Description: High-Strength Clear Nylon
Tubing .242" ID, 5/16" OD, .035" Wall Thickness
It fits the OEM barbs very nicely.
You have to warm the ends up to get them to slide over the hose barbs. Heat the ends till they just start to get plyable, then firmly ram the hose onto the barbs.
Its allot easier if you take the barb nerds off the pump and filter housing.

I can make you a good deal on the ones that I pulled off my AAZ.
I needed the ends, so I bought OEM from a place on ebay for $15. He has them all the time - currently Item number: 350104131575 - A bit more than McMaster-Carr, but if you need the ends like I did. They did not come with the washer nor the banjo bolt. I had these.
$21.35 after shipping, that's a bit steep.
OE looking for sure and that would be nice.
That's a good find arb. I think I'll save that selling just in case.
I actually needed 2 of them because my fuel filter didn't have the barbed fittings - so It was $36 for 2 including shipping as he combined shipping. But, yeah, more than I wanted to pay but it got the job done. My weak point is the return line for the GT15 - I had to make my own. it will not be down hill much so oil exiting the turbo is almost level with the return port on the front of the engine.
The clear tubing is a nylon so it is not really hard to find some online stores. You may try to go to the zunzun site if they have it.
