Plastic fuel line connectors at the tank switch.

[CrippledEagle]

Okay I managed to screw up the 90° fittings that go onto my tank switch. I am using a later tank switch on my 83 F250. The early switch has rubber lines running to the switch and the later switch has plastic lines with retainers and 90° fittings at the switch. I accidentally ruined the 90° fittings . I can buy new lines with the 90° fittings but each one is almost $30 and I still will have to buy splicers to fit to my lines.
Would anyone have an old switch with the 90° fittings and some short (12”-18”) plastic lines? I am willing to pay a fair price for a set. I don’t need the switch particularly as I have a new one that uses the plastic lines.
Thank You!

Not exactly sure which parts you need but check these out. I believe there is a company that offers line adapters in brass or stainless as well as plastic. As a last resort, there is zero fuel pressure in these lines (maybe 1/2 psi in the return but others are under vacuum). As a temporary fix, you could just slip the rubber lines onto the barbs you have and put the hose clamps back on.

If these aren't what you need, search for Bundy fuel connectors and you should find sellers on ebay and other places that have the pieces and adapters. Don't forget there's two sizes of lines, one for return and one for supply.

Thank You for the direction that you provided! I believe that the fittings are exactly what I was in pursuit of! I have ordered the fittings and they should make my task much easier. This is one of those learning experiences one goes through occasionally.
