View Full Version : Fuel Accumulator to filter hard line alternative needed

There have been some discussions over the years about an alternative to the hard line (braided flex??) from the accumulator to the filter. Swapping this out is usually needed when a seized fitting which is also leaking, can not be removed. Unfortunately, the replacements produced back then are no longer manufactured. Is there a current solution available from either the big vendors or smaller shops that can make and ship to us? I?d rather have a tried & trued part since this is basically a flammable area of concern. Not someone using a hammer and a vice in the basement to fabricate the solution. Thanks!

I bought this part from DMC Midwest a few years ago but not sure if they are still into outside parts sales. I would think all vendors are aware of the issue and have some sort of solution.

I've been wanting to make some quick connect fittings that fit onto the accumulator, then replace the hard line completely with a nylon hose all the way to the quick connect fitting on my fuel filter.

I?m looking to track down an alternative too. Midwest has told me they can still supply them but are struggling with shipping to Canada. If someone has found other options I would like to hear it.
