    obs fuel line fitting size

    Anyone know the size of the fuel lines on 89 burban along the frame, where on tbi it was joined to a braided/steel line to tb.

    Trying to find a adapter to screw onto these to make it an AN fitting to the make a hose to connect to fuel rail of my new 4.8 2002 truck motor.

    I think its one of each or close after looking at them. They use a o-ring seal though not like a regular npt flare fitting I'm used too. Maybe some metric thing, everything else on the burb is metric it seems like.

    Does this look like what I might need? the truck is a 1989 Chevy Suburban 2wd.

    I wish I had a parts house close to just grab one and try vs ordering one.

    I think your going to have to use a tubing cutter & cut the factory fitting off. I don't think it is a common fitting size they used there, on the GM fuel line. Cut it off & buy/install a compression fitting that is female AN. Then go from there. Thats what I did.
