Braided Fuel Line/AN Fitting Tutorial (OBS LS Swap): ENTIRE Process w/ Part Numbers

[@bigduke5555]

Perfect this gonna help A LOT OF PEOPLE!

[@armandogarciajr1478]

You just helped a lot of people by teaching you guy how to do his fuel lines. Thanks I really think it’s one of the best videos I have seen. It’s the first time I have seen someone make his fuel lines from cutting to installing the fittings. Usually on car shows they just show you the hose a fittings and tools, then they show the final product. THANKS great video.

[@CoolCarsKJ]

I'm glad you enjoyed it and learned a little! How everything works out beautifully for ya!

Man bruh. That's a big help. Everyone don't tell you how to do gas lines. BIG HELP.

This is one of those videos where I save on "track build" for hopefully future reference. Thanks brothers.

[@housecat619]

Bru thanks for the information I need to get some part help your bro.

You need help with parts?

[@daddi04]

Thanks for doing such a thorough tutorial, you probably saved me DAYS of research!

[@spectatecomment7306]

Well done. Great approach to show coaching someone with less experience. You're a great teacher.

[@CoolCarsKJ]

I appreciate that! Thank you for watching and taking the time to drop a comment!

[@siTTinLo]

You’re the Man. I’ve been trying to find those part numbers for the sending unit adapters for hours when all I had to do was holler at my boy KJ.. 🤦‍♂️

[@DjCBlaq]

DEFINITELY a great video. Just gotta add one thing. When you are assembling the second piece down onto the AN put a little lube on the threads. That will help the second piece not push the hose back out of the fitting when tightening the two pieces together. I marked my hose when it was bottomed out inside the first piece so I can see if it moved. Much respect.

[@CoolCarsKJ]

Marking it is a pretty good idea. I hadn't thought of that. But after checking the 4 I did on my truck, they didn't move at all. This particular fitting and hose has a very tight fit, but maybe all brands do 🤷‍♂️

[@DjCBlaq]

@@CoolCarsKJ when I did my trans cooler lines I had one or two start to push back. I think if you have the right amount of elbow grease you should be ok. This is definitely the best most specific video on this. I looked all over when I did my C10. Videos were old and horrible quality.

[@CoolCarsKJ]

@@DjCBlaq ima try those ideas next time, for sure.

@Cool Cars KJ Your partner couldn't had a better teacher and viewers as well to give this tutorial with sth step by step details. You might wanna add the fuel filter number to the part list for those that's going to question you about it. I appreciate the great content. Keep the fire vlogs coming

[@antoniokrider4118]

Mann.... I appreciate it so much cause this is my first time trying an ls swap in a 77 impala

[@mrwashur1991]

Painters tape on the inside of the tool will keep it from scratching. Appreciate the video, been searching for awhile now on what parts are needed to convert from tbi to braided lines since I don’t want to pay $120+ for factory metal lines lol.

[@feastorfamineauto]

Glad someone uploaded the process on an obs truck. I was going to record when I made mine but didn’t have a second pair of hands to help out. Awesome vid. It’ll definitely help out a lot of people

[@CoolCarsKJ]

Do you do yours the same way? Similar? Different?

[@feastorfamineauto]

Cool Cars KJ as far as making the lines mine was identical. I used painters tape and a grinder. But I had a vortec 350 in my truck originally so I only needed like 2ft of hose all together

[@CoolCarsKJ]

10-4, yea I've seen the vortec 350s can adapt right near the engine

[@fuelinjectedduck2964]

Damn good video. Can't find a full fuel line build like this on here. If y'all have some extra money on the next obs, use some ptfe line. The fuel won't break it down over time like it does the rubber.

[@CoolCarsKJ]

LV isn't willing to spend the extra money on some stuff, lol. I had this hose extra from ordering too much last time, lmao. Does the PTFE line take the same fittings or different style? I'll have to take a closer look at that for the upcoming 91 & 93 swaps.

[@fuelinjectedduck2964]

@@CoolCarsKJ the pfte takes basically the same fitting but it has an "olive" in the middle that compresses and seals the fitting. There are videos on here that show you how it goes together. Definitely good to consider.

[@georgefowler680]

Love the video

[@donjuan4925]

What's up, bossman KJ! I hope life is treating you well! Quick question: What did yall do with that middle line coming out of the fuel tank? The one in between the sending and returning lines. I believe it's the Evap line. Did you just run it how it came stock with the clamp?

[@CoolCarsKJ]

yessir, reuse it and hook to charcoal canister if you like.

[@donjuan4925]

@@CoolCarsKJ awesome! Thanks for always getting back to me 🍻

[@JoseContreras-mv5yz]

Im tryin to do this for my transmission,and engine oil cooler lines.

[@CoolCarsKJ]

Same process I would assume, maybe different hose.

[@josecervantes9708]

What kind of filter did you end up using? What about the pump? It looked new like you replaced where you connect the lines back into the tank.

[@CoolCarsKJ]

Stock fuel filter and delco EP381 fuel pump which is stock for 96-later models.

[@hurielsigala5878]

Were do you connect the evap hose from the fuel pump assembly? Does it go somewhere in the intake manifold?

[@uncle.breed_4806]

👍💯start up soon!!!

[@deadjona13m98]

Is he using the oem pumps straw or is it a different straw in the tank? I'm doing this my self soon and I was wondering if there's any other options for oem fuel pumps to replace for one with just a straw and fuel sensor

Which side does that filter go on the return or the feed?

[@FaDeDStudios]

Say I just want to replace my rusty lines from the fuel pump to the fuel filter, can I use this tutorial to replace the lines without any problems? I’m not planning on LS swapping anytime soon.

[@AircraftMechanic-AP]

Of course

[@1787PHA]

Great tutorial bruh

[@Akumacokezz6]

Quick question for ya, I got a 98 obs crew cab. My stock metal fuel lines comes from the fuel tank all the way up to the tranny to the back of the block, can’t I just use two 1 foot lines from there to the fuel rails or should I just run all new lines?

[@Akumacokezz6]

Wait never mind I just rewatch the video and you said the metal lines were good but the previous owner removed them

[@CoolCarsKJ]

Yes, you can adapt from the end of the metal lines.

[@emtfire20]

What if you run an aftermarket intake ? Do you need a fuel pressure regulator

[@docdahk5993]

Must be awesome living so close to summit and/or jegs?!

[@CoolCarsKJ]

Bout an hour and a half for me.

[@stillrumone]

GREAT JOB!!!... 😎💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@DavidSanchez-el4bg]

On this truck is it possible to use stock lines & just adapt connections to ends to

[@CoolCarsKJ]

Yes you can adapt from the fuel filter up to the intake. I've done that on my truck.

[@billionairebuddha617]

Any suggestions on where to get the fuel line. Was looking on Amazon and a lot seem to have bad reviews, even some reviews on summit weren’t so good.

[@CoolCarsKJ]

i bought it from ebay. Worked well so far.

[@originalosanchez5549]

Good video

[@mrwashur1991]

Any ideas on what parts I would need to make a short return line from my tbi unit to the connection just behind the engine? I’m reading I’d need a 14x1.5mm an fitting, hose, and another 14x1.5 I think, and 2 an fittings.

[@CoolCarsKJ]

I've never done that bro. I cant give any advice on that.

[@Victor-sq8fo]

You ever get the parts for it? And did it work

[@Karmaize]

Great vid. Are you not using a fuel pressure regulator anywhere?

[@CoolCarsKJ]

The LS fuelnpressure regulator is on the fuel rails, if I recall. He still has it. Might have removed while he was painting the intake but yes we will be using it.

[@soniac6733]

Cool video my mounts came in just debating on which harness to go with roughly how much did this run

[@CoolCarsKJ]

The fittings are cheap, the hose is fairly cheap. I'd say this is maybe $100 worth of parts

[@soniac6733]

Cool Cars KJ sweet next on the list I’m thinking about boosting this 5.3 so debating on buying headers or just buy the turbo manifolds

[@MarioHernandez-yt8sq]

What size fuel line would be better for 6.0, 3/8 or 5/16?

[@adreanc991]

Great video, I’m in the process of doing my first LS swap on my 91 obs. I have a 5.3 /4l80e. What fuel pump would you recommend?

[@trapbeats1707]

Walbro 255LPH

[@CoolCarsKJ]

AC Delco EP381 at a minimum. Walbro 255 or aeromotive equivalent are both outstanding as well.

[@Treyes92]

About how long were the lines after being cut? Just need a rough estimate for reference

[@slowmojuvie9918]

Great video! What size hose did you use?

[@CoolCarsKJ]

-6an hose, 20ft of it

[@supersportjae974]

So will this set up work for the ls3 setup because my fuel rail has a single hose that comes off the rail?

[@CoolCarsKJ]

Very similar as far as making the lines. But you'll need a corvette fuel filter ran in line. It should have one nipple in and 2 out or vice versa. I've read about it.

[@supersportjae974]

Ok thanks so much

[@laurencevillegarage]

I might have missed it somewhere, but what fuel pump did you use that had those fittings? Great video, very informative, an asset to all OBS LS swaps!

[@CoolCarsKJ]

The fuel pump is Ac Delco ep381. The blue fittings were added to the sending unit, they do not come on it, if that's what you're lookin for. Thanks for the support!

You need that corvette fuel filter piece then. They call that a non return style intake. Have you read about it?

[@bryantspeedcustoms9795]

@@CoolCarsKJ yeah I know about the non return style I guess it’s kinda hard to type it all and explain so basically my question is obviously I don’t run a return from my intake because it’s only a one lime but do I need to run a line from my filter to the gas tank and still have a return line or just get the filter that only has the 2 nipples instead of 3 that’s where I’m lost also I have regular metal fuel line is it better to double flare or to get a fitting that goes to AN6 what would you suggest?
