Fuel Line Connections?

Posted by CSCameron [68.228.198.56] on Tuesday, August 07, 2012 at 16:23:43 :

Ok, I feel stupid. I purchased a new mechanical fuel pump and fuel line from VPW. The fuel line came with flared ends and connectors. I figured the fuel pump and line would be the correct size for the carb. However, the connector is too big for the fuel pump but does work on the carb?

So, I have been trying to find some 90 degree elbows (flare) to complete this connection, but can't find any that work?

Why would the fuel pump use a different size than the carb which would require at least a reducer on the pump end? What are you guys using to make this connection? Do they make different size pumps? Why would VPW send me a fuel line that wouldn't fit the pump? Just thought I would ask here first before calling them.

Thanks!
