Aftermarket Fuel Line Connection Replacement?

[Kevin frazier]

Why not add an A N male fitting to fuel rail with matching A N female connector to fuel line?

The fuel line and the connectors look the same as on the T120. This was a b!tch to get off and back on. In that case the fuel rail was plastic and the worry was breaking the fuel rail nipple off.

I haven't. I kind of let this go by me. I'd really like to find metal connectors, but haven't had any luck.

CONFIRMED. Dorman part# 800-186 is the EXACT SAME and the locking slide can be transferred to the new fuel connector. My local Oreilly's had it in stock @ $22.99 for a two pack. Autozone also showed to have it locally too. Here are some pics of my repair:

That's most excellent! How have you confirmed the fit?

OK, using this part # I'm back in the search for a metal replacement.

Looks like this one made by CPC might be it. I've emailed to confirm and will report back....

Without the 45 angle you'd need to add a longer fuel line, assuming no issue with it and the fuel line standing up taller under the tank. Anway, we'll see....

Thanks a lot, mine is getting worn out after opening several times, I will order them and keep in stock, just in case if I break.

It's on the bike. I rode 20 miles last night. I confirmed the numbers on the two parts. Both say 7.89 and 7.95. Here's a pic i took comparing the inside of both:

Quick update. Over 300 miles later and ZERO issues. I don't even think about the repair anymore and this thread reminded me of it so I thought I would share.

Awesome! You saved me a ton of time and money. Thank you!!!

Having just pulled the tank again for a 30K fuel and air filter replacement it looks like the straight shaft above will not fit- need the 45 turn (and another 1-2" fuel line to just make life easier). Good to know about the other replacement.
