Wix 33737

What kind of fitting do I need to connect to the outlet side of the wix filter?... is there an -6an adapter fitting for this application? .....I want to run a -6 braided line from the filter to the fuel rail.

That part number is not for the pic you posted. The part number ypu posted is for 3/8" tube to 3/8" NPT.


However the pic you posted is 3/8" tube to -6AN adapter, part number 640940, which most guys will want to use.

You could use that original part# with a -6AN to 3/8" compression fitting...but 640940 is probably the easier/cheaper way to go.

I got that pic from Russels website?....

[HavinSomeFun]

I just ordered this and the other two parts to make all three a -6an.

RUS-640860

Here is what I used,

Can you just put compression fittings on the other 2 lines to go to -6?

correction on the pn# 640940.....

Gents,

I am using the WIX 33737 and want to run rubber fuel injection hose from tank to rail. What do I need to connect the 3/8" rubber hose to the filter/regulator?

...it comes with an efi quick connect fitting on the inlet and return, you'll need a fitting for the outlet, similar to the one pictured above without the AN fitting. or a barb fitting.... you can clamp the high-pressure hose onto that. make sure and use the high-pressure hose clamps tho....

Mooseknuckles,

Thanks for the reply. Got a part # for the "without the AN fitting. or a barb fitting" I am very new to fuel injection. Is there such a thing as a efi fitting to efi fitting? I have rubber hose and clamps rated to sustain 50psi- should be good there. My plan is to connect 3/8" rubber hose with a FI clamp on the inlet tube, and 5/16" on the return side. Am I on the wrong path here?

you would run braided line the 10-12 ft from the tank to the rail? Why? Hard line is still stronger and a 1/4 of the price.

Running braided instead of FI rubber from hard line to rail I do understand.

my bad...I meant filter/reg to fuel rail....I have 6' of braided -6an line ( with a heat resistant sleeve) from filter/ reg to the fuel rail...why?? because it looks better, cleaner, and I dont ever have to worry about it coming into contact with anything, or wearing through on something...

Help me Budda! Help me Tom Cruise! BR3W CITY, thanks for helping me keep one of the vital components of the FIRE triangle where it belongs. "hose barb to Quick connect" is exactly the answer I was looking for, I will seek it out.

I do have FI rated rubber hose. It states 3.4bar on the hose(by my calculation 3.4 bar = 49.3128308 pounds per square inch). Am I fine with this or do I need line that will sustain a higher static pressure? i.e. hard line or braided SS

Thanks for the warning and keeping me on the right path. If you have a part # for your recommendation I would greatly appreciate it.

.

Most FI rubber lines are rated at about 180 psi, I'm not sure what line you have but it isn't FI line, or somehow you have FI line from 25 year ago.

Here is 3/8 and 5/16 from oriellys, note the pressure ratings under the specs.

I guess you missed the part where I mentioned that the line between the pump and regulator can see 100+ psi. Regardless 3.4 Bar line isn't good enough. I suggest you carry a decent fire extinguisher with you since you seem hell bent on taking the cheap and easy route.
