Fuel selector valve

converting the FSV from the steel and plastic lines to rubber, are the stock ford clip type fittings that the plastic lines attach to, barbed where the plastic goes on. Just wondering if I can attach rubber to the stock clip or not and if not how I'll get rubber to the FSV.

Thanks

YES; the plastic ends are barbed.

The DRAWs are 3/8 and the RETURNs are 5/16.

If you come shy a few of the little clips, a plain old zip-tie works just as well; just thread it through/around where the little clip goes and don't tighten it until the end is pushed onto the fitting; once you get one apart, you will see what I mean.

I found that if I removed the little brake line clip, Dorman 800-015, and pulled the "L" shaped connector off the FSV, that a 3/8th rubber hose would slip right onto the nipple coming out of the FSV. I tightened it down with a regular hose clamp. I didn't change the return line, but I'd bet you can do the same with that and a 5/16th rubber line.

In the picture below the supply line to the engine is the closer one of the upper pair. You can see an example of the clip more clearly on the line coming out the bottom of the FSV, and you can see another view on the line going toward the rear of the truck. It's the part with the pointy shaped piece flush with the fitting.

Thanks guys, I've been looking this over and I couldn't tell what I was looking at. It seems pretty clear now.
