: Where to buy fuel line fittings?

Stupid question I suppose, but I need just a regular brass 'L' fitting (male into pump fitting, female to accept stock fuel line) coming off of an AC Delco fuel pump.

Any suggestions on where to find? it's probably a $3-8 part, but I can't find anything.

Thanks,

Most of the NAPA stores I've been in have an excellent assortment of fittings. Do you have the pump off to take in with you? It could make it much easier as it 'may' have a female inverted flare on the output....(did the fuel line screw directly into the pump)..... (this can complicate things when trying to go to a 90° fitting) You may need to convert that to a npt thread then add the 90.

Thanks for responding. I went to Napa but no luck.

yes, hard line screws into pump. appears pump fitting is for 5/16" line, and I will need an L-adapter, to move from a 1/2-20 (pump) to a 5/8-18 (line), in an "L" so it gets more complicated by the moment....

thanks

It might help to use proper names when looking for fittings.
such as - "1/4" M.I.P. X 3/8" O.D. inverted flare 90 degree elbow" for example.

If you MUST use a 90° fitting on the pump looks like you're in the market for an aftermarket pump that has a pipe thread output.
