It's either 3/8 or 5/16 but if I was to find out myself there would be fuel all over the shop. Pic as standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo may be deceptive but it appears one is 3/8 and one is 5/16's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The end of the fitting has a bulb that can be flared up to aprox 3/8 and you can then get two clamps to secure the hose.(assuming you want to run 3/8 if not play on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for the females that carry the retaining nut style as opposed to the units which have two plastic tags exposed to release the male from the female grasp.Look at the style on the new process west surge tanks and they are available from speedflow.my .02c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked everywhere for those f.u.c.k ers and haven't had any luck. I even asked the place where I bought the surge tank from twice but they never got back to me....cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
