Dual Tank Fuel System

I have officially started my swap today. however i have a dual tank system issue/question.

I am using dual tanks, each with its own in tank pump, and using a dual tank switch under the cab.

I have started modifying the in tank fuel sender units same as aggie91 has done in his fuel sending unit thread HERE.

The layout of my fuel system is as follows:

the lines from the tanks will go to the under cab tank switch mechanism, then to a vette fuel filter/pressure regulator. The regulated fuel will feed the fuel rail while the over pressure from the regulator will feed back thru the tank switcher as the switched were original designed for.

I will be using all AN fittings and braided fuel lines.

the problem i am having is that the under cab tank switch has a plastic housing with barbed fuel line connections.

how the heck am i going to convert the plastic barb type fitting to use -6 AN connections?



the REST of the fuel system is straightforward and i am confident that i can plumb it as necessary. this ONE thing has me screwed up.

What say ye?
