Dear Forum,

I have a query regarding the engine bay connections between the rubber fuel hoses and the hard lines back to the tank.

I need to replace my rubber hoses and there appears to be 2 connectors ( to and from the tank) that may be a click fit adaptor.

They seem to swivel on the hard pipe.

GM have a factory quick connector and i'm wondering if these are the same.

I realise the connections on the throttle body hard pipes are crimped.

Does anyone have any details about these connections?

Kind Regards

Waz

It's just 8mm injection fuel hose pushed onto the hard fuel lines (supply and return) and kept in place with a hose clip. Or are you referring to clips to mount the fuel pipes running below the floor from the tank to the engine bay? I have photos of the connections in the engine bay if this helps.

As per Matthewsdad's post above, mine are just the standard fuel hose pushed on to the hard pipes and clamped.  You can see the end that joins the hard pipe to the throttle body on mine in the centre of the picture below, the other end where they join the hard pipes under the car are the same.

Hose clamps are these type or the ones with the worm drive
