Dorman800-059 3/8 In. Quick Connector, 90 degree w/ 18 In. of 3/8 In. Nylon Tube and a Union Compatible with Select Models

I'm sure I could have cut my original line and hoped that the retainer (and barbed union) on this works well, BUT, I chose to keep the original elbow and keep the line in one piece. I don't trust any unnecessary union, unless it would save me from replacing a whole line!From what I've read and seen, if you have a 3800 series and fuel leaking right where the elbow joins to the fuel rail, it's almost definitely the washers (I reused my plastic spacer)... it took some work to get them out intact though, be careful to not ruin the o-ring!!!Use a bent finish nail, small crochet hook or improvise and slide it up the plastic spacer until right when you feel it slide off and you're at the bottom of the first of three O-rings, fishing them out with cautious touch is easier than removing the plastic spacer to get at them!

Ok

Not the entire length replacement

Dorman Fuel Line Clip 800-023 is required to use this on your engines fuel rail. The fuel line clip assembly doesn't come with this product. My engine had a different type of connector, Dorman Fuel Line Clip 800-498. Ended up just getting it off a fuel line from another car at the junkyard.

The fitting worked like described but you have to be very careful with the tube due to the wall thickness being very thin - Used a heat gun to gently heat it up so I could make the right bend in it. It will break if you try to bend cold!

I put this on my GM 3800 after I got tired of smelling gas in the car. The part woked great but the insturctions were a little weak:1) you have to completely remove the lower plastic sleeve on the fuel rail2) measure and cut the old line off before the S-curve so the splice is in a straight line2) it is best to soak this part in boinling water and insert the metal coupling while in your house3) then take the hot water outside and slowly pour it over the end you just cut off4) quickly insert the other end of the metal coupling to the old line (especially in January)5) just to be sure, put a couple small cable ties on the spliceThe new coupling then simply snaps on the fuel rail. Done. Now I dont' get dizzy while driving and my fuel mileage has increased.

I give it four stars for this reason.. Dorman products are great so far with my use. The issue is the line is not flexible with this product and it does not bend. Please buy the Dorman nylon flexible tubing along with connectors. The line is hard to connect to the metal connector too. I strongly suggest you watch You Tube videos on how to connect the lines first and buy a heat gun or watch other solutions on You Tube how to connect the line first. Please buy some stainless steel clamps as well to make sure the line stays connected. Make sure you watch the You Tube videos others posted.

I really like that a special tool is not required to disconnect this. Just a little screwdriver or pick can do it. And, if you break the little clip, you can get replacements at local auto parts stores for a couple bucks for a pack of 6. This works well to replace the fuel line connector on my Pontiac G8 where it connects to the tank. I mangled my original real good.

By the time we had enough heat to expand and push the tube onto a connector on the open end it mushed instead of going over the threads... not impressed with this product..

Arrived very quickly. Exactly what I needed.
