Re: Dorman connector Posted by kenS [Email] (#606) [Profile/Gallery] (more from kenS) on Sun, 3 Jan 2021 11:22:55 In Reply to: Re: Fuel return line leak, Barn builder, Sat, 2 Jan 2021 19:08:20 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The Dorman 800-192 should work as a fix for the return (low pressure) line. I *think* it will work on the feed (high) pressure line, but Dorman doesn't specify what the pressure limit is. The Saab fuel lines are 8mm i.d., but the o.d. is more like 8.3mm, and Dorman doesn't specify an o.d., so you need to check for how good the seal is at pressure. I would give it a try and monitor the connector for leaks when you start the fuel pump up... Dorman sells nylon 5/16" fuel line, and labels it as "8mm" equivalent, but they sell a different patch connector 800-191 for it, and specify that as 5/16" or 7.9mm. You could also use a metal barbed connector (Dorman 800-012) that would be more secure, but you will have to tap the nylon tube onto the barbs or use the special fitting tool mentioned above.
