When replacing the fuel pumps here are the currrent tech submersible Gates products to replace those old fuel lines and cheapass plastic factory clamps.
![]() You need 2 feet of hose to do all the hoses. You stock guys need 27083 hose 32007 clamps.. Mine are a tad larger. Shrink to clamp, hose clamps.. If you work on it make it better, not stock....cheap GM stock parts are why you are replacing the stuff in the first place.

Harvie,
Will this alter nominal fuel rail pressure? Any thoughts on the Bosch rotary pumps?

These are inside the fuel tank. These hose and have nothing to do with fuel rail pressure.

I don't know that the cheap GM stock parts comment is accurate either. The parts your replacing are "maintenance" items no "LIFETIME" intended hard parts. What do you use as a replacement for that "GM stock" Y-fitting at the tank unit? Have you hung your pumps differently in the bracket? Last edited by WVZR-1; 09-10-2014 at 05:28 PM. |

"I don't know that the cheap GM stock parts comment is accurate either"
Government Motors puts parts out for bid with specs, the lowest bidder gets the contract, not the highest quality, and for every part there are/were higher quality replacements. my comment is 1000% accurate. Stock plastic Y fitting is trash can material, I am using a stainelss steel y and tossing that plastic garbage in the trash can.

OP - Post up a snapshot of your completed assembly. I guess that might be quite relative to the assessment of "yours vs OE". Show us your stuff! You've got the "attitude" let's see if there's "craftsmanship" to match.

Here is one of the former OEM suppliers to GM, check out the 5/16 fuel Ys, and guess which ones they used.
http://tubingandfittings.eldonjames....ngs?&pagenum=3 I got the SS model and port/flowed it with drills and will never have to touch it again. GM owners got the 1.61 specials....that GM probably paid 25 cents

This is where most of the vendors of the ss Ys get them. Then the price goes up..of course...
