My fuel line is leaking right out of the connector that connects to the end of the fuel filter. From the tank side. I would like to know if anyone knows of the size connector I need to replace it. The fuel line is good all i need is a new connector. I was thinking it was a 3/8 to a 3/8 but would like to make sure before I order it. Below is the link to the one I think would be right.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Yes, 3/8 is the size.

You might be better off replacing the o-ring inside, which is most likely why it's leaking. The other option is to cut one out of a junkyard car from the fuel rail (usually not rusted out) with about 4" of the nylon hose, and use a 800-193 to connect it to your existing line.

That fitting is very difficult to install, the 800-193 slips right on.

I have found that one easy to repair with this kit: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rnb-8 ... AheI8P8HAQ

I believe it's 5/16 on the tank side of the fuel filter, someone correct me if I'm wrong!
