Guys, I am replacing the leaking fuel/lift pump on my '92 IDI, the steel tube that runs from the pump up to the filter/separator twisted near the pump, I guess the tube was rusted/corroded in the nut.

Anyway, I cant find the part number for this tube, any help for a part number or quick solution?

Make your own.
Most auto stores carry that black metric conversion BS. Do not use it.
Get a piece that's standard. Try the decent parts stores.
Not vatoZone or Orielys.
Napa or monument.
I believe the fitting to the fuel filter is just a single flare.

most good auto parts carry steel tubing flared with nuts, you have 3/8 inverted flare, get one long enough and trim to fit, flare the other end a bit and a new olive , good to go.
Or a male inv flare to hose adapter and a 1/4 male pipe to hose adapter and a good section of fuel line, again ,good to go.

IDIoit, all fuel and brake lines are double flare, keeps them cracking from vibration.

Inverted flare straigh hose barb on the bottom, pipe thread hose barb 90* up top, with rubber line in between.

A regular pipe thread fitting won't seal properly to the lift pump.

OK, here is how it turned out, didn't feel like running out so I used what I had in stock, seems to be working fine-these are low pressure lines so its really no big deal.

Here are the flares, the bottom is a double, but the top is a single with a rubber washer/gasket, I've not seen this style before:

Since I had about an inch to work with on the lower portion, I just cut the twisted part off, and also cut the upper line back about 4" where it was straight:

5/16" fuel line fit tightly:

Everything installed:

Heck yeah, good fix!

That rubber bit on the upper fitting is the much hated "olive"

the bottom tubing nut is a double flare, but the top that goes to the elbow on the fuel filter, isn't.
I was a little vague.

Nicely fixed. You clearly have the proper mentality for owning an IDI truck. Use what you have and make it work! LOL I like it.
