GM Diesel Lift Pump/A Fitting Question
« on: December 16, 2012, 06:54:43 am »
I wanted to install a lift pump on my b5 gas to aaz diesel project and after reading a number of old posts decided to go with the gm lift pump which is rated at 4psi. I have the pump on order so what I'd like to know is what the fitting sizes are so I can order the appropriate fittings. Just a long shot here but would anybody know that the sizes are? I'd like to pre-order the parts so I don't have to wait until after I get the pump.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

My 6.2 uses 3/8 hose, but it's a mechanical pump.

they take flare fittings.. 3/8, just like a 5.7 or 6.2d
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

Just did a 6.2  mechanical fuel pump yesterday, inlet is 3/8 barb not sure of outlet thread size, but it took a 5/8 wrench and was a flare fitting.

3/8 coarse thread flare fitting.. promise.

just did a 5.7D lift pump not long ago..

all the fuel hard lines have 3/8 flare fittings. even at the fuel filter.
