    3/8" npt to 8AN male

     



    I think the fumes have finally gotten to me. I need a solution to this and I'm completely braindead. I have 3/8" fuel line and I'm attaching to 8AN male at the fuel cell what am I missing as far as an adapter, and where are they available.

    I get most of mine online from Jegs or Summit. I stick to their brands for savings wherever possible. I have had trouble using some braided lines in store brand fittings. In general it is safest to use the fitting makers' hose along with their fittings.

    I have also purchased fittings from our better local Speed Shop.

    m.... if I understand what you are saying, you have a -8 male on your fuel cell and your hose is a 3/8" meaning that the hose end will end up a -6 female. Therefore, you can get an adapter that goes from -8 to -6 to connect as in this web page picture:
