Anybody know where to get the "Y" that connects the fuel pump lines to the outlet?
Discovered mine has a small crack in it and is losing pressure.
It is the one connecting the 3 hoses together on the sending unit assy. Believe it is 5/16" on the pump sides and 3/8" on the outlet side.
Also, what hose does everybody use to replace the original on the sending unit?
Thanks for the help.

Yes, that is it. Here's a pic. It is the "Y" shaped piece in center of photo.7483

You would need to salvage that off another pump assembly.

Or spend $200 plus dollars for a whole new assembly.

I have a couple of these let me check that piece and see if Its usable.

Btw what you think its worth?

This would be an option:

You just might need a different clamp to tighten the 3/8 hose onto the 5/16 barb. I looked into this awhile back.

Johnny,
Thanks for the offer.
I am concerned that an original plastic one would probably be brittle just like mine is. Nearly 30 years is a long time for plastic to remain serviceable.
I was able to do a repair on mine and everything is holding fine for now, but I am checking into several options for a better permanent replacement.
The 2 different size hoses sort of throws a kink into buying one off the shelf.
I'll report back if I come up with something.

Yes, I saw those. The configuration is a little different, but it might work. I may get one and try it. Depending on the diameter of the barb on the side for the 3/8" hose, might be able to get it to seal properly.
They have one for 3/8" also, but I am pretty sure 3/8" hose will not hold securely on the pump outlets.
Thanks for the reply.
