They have good deals on fittings


After removing the stock fuel filter housing and all of the plumbing I went back to the only store open Parkrose Hardware. They couldn't match up the odd thread pitches in the and out of the stock filter and coming from the lift pump.

The goals was to eliminate the need to cut any stock fuel tubing with banjo fittings.

The stock fuel tubing coming from the lift pump to the diesel filter broke during removal. Remember to loosen the smaller fittings first when multiple fittings are stacked. I cut the tube flared the end and slide 5/8" fuel injection line over it.
