Anyone know where to get a one peice adapter like this? Basically a T with two 5/16" fuel line barbs and 1/8 npt female threads as the middle connection?

I know I could peice it together from parts but I would like one unit if anyone makes it.

Thanks

I also would like to find this piece. Ive been to a couple local parts stores and all they carry is 3/8"

The parts store monkey told me it would cost $30-40 to build it from parts

I found something similar to what you want at McMaster-Carr

If you go under the grouping labeled Fittings, Pipe, Tubing, and Hose there's one called Barbed Tube Fittings. They have T branches but only offer male NPT fittings. You might need to use a male fitting with a female adapted on it.

they have plastic (nylon) and they list gasoline under applications, can you use a plastic fitting for a fuel line?

get 2 5/16 push loc barbs with a 1/8" npt on the, and a 3 way T, with an 1/8" NPT female port on the 3 openings. Pushloc on two sides, gauge on the other. Done.

Teflon it all.

thats what i did and so far its working just fine. its really not that big of a deal to have 3 pieces instead of one fitting. plus you get to have fun screwing around!!!!! and yes, use teflon on all threads and lube up the hoses, it'll help a great deal. and clamp down those suckers tight if your gonna up the pressure more than 45psi. werd.

EDIT: the parts i used were: OEM fuel line clamps ('cause they can be screwd really tight without cutting into the hose), edelmann 1/8"npt x 5/16" nipple (times 2)[part number:744250], and an edelmann 1/8" 3 way female "T" adapter[part number:201200]. and 1/4" teflon tape wrapped twice around each male thread. thats what i used and its working fine.
