This fitting is both useless and extremely valuable at the same time.. As we are finding out. I purchased the van line for just this issue but. Seems my van line was of a smaller tube outside diameter and my clamp for pulse timing would not fit. I will need to re examine this further cause I sure don't like useless "things" on my engine.. Like a fuel heater that really never worked or proven needed... Even in the extreme cold slat belt areas.
yeah, i'd like to delete it like I did the fuel heater, but the last thing I need to do is introduce esoteric problems to my situation. I'd never figure out whats going on.
I also hate this thing. Whenever I was having air intrusion issues I took everything off my ip, made sure the feed line was good and changed the olives and did the return lines caps o rings etc. Well upon buttoning everything back up this little thing would not thread on comfortably and felt cross threaded no matter what I was doing. I tightened it just a bit and fired the truck up and it didn't leak, and so I just let it run and tightened it more and more and made sure it didn't leak as I did it. It's probably all kinds of jacked up now but it doesn't leak and I bought a spare set from riotwarrior (thanks btw) of all the hard lines and keep them behind the back seat with a 5/8 inch wrench and some spare booze should this or any injector line ever be an issue again.
Not saying to do any of what I did, but I too hate this thing and if I ever take that line off again for any reason that thing is going to go.

I guess by indicating there's spare booze back there also serves as an example that I probably won't successfully fix anything and will wind up drinking instead, but oh well lol.. Can't win them all
Not only is the OD smaller, but so is the ID.

I wonder if the smaller ID makes much of a difference in how much fuel is injected compared to the other lines. At 2000 RPM, there is only 23 thousandths of a second to inject fuel at 8.5* BTDC. IIRC, by my calculations a couple of years ago. A .060 shorter line might be a plus.
BYE BYE; Super Bowl time.

Yeah well, if the booze doesn't help you fix it, it'll help you wait for the tow truck! Win either way!
