8V71 Secondary Fuel Filter Flair Elbow information??

[JonHupp]

Hi,

Was converting my 8V71TI's old style secondary fuel filters to the DD spin on adapter and I bent one of the brass 90 degree fittings that convert from the flared fuel lines to the pipe threads.

(They look like the elbow in this picture):



Does anybody have a part number, source, or the specifications for this part? Thanks.

Pull it out a d match it up.

It's pipe thread to flair.

Try NAPA, they usually have a decent selection of fittings.

It's a pipe to inverted flair fitting. Buy the fitting that goes with it and screw it in the fitting to keep it from crushing when you install or remove.

So back to the idea or pull it and match it up.
