This is where I have been trying to help you all along. Maybe its my delivery, not sure. But everything I suggested, you did the complete opposite. I've been in your shoes, and have a bin of O'Reilly bs parts, I thought at the time were cool. I spent more money chasing my tail buying cheap aftermarket box store parts, instead of buying the correct part to begin with.
I appreciate your willingness to learn, and build. But the fuel line I suggested is $20.00 bolt on and go. No leaks, no trips back and forth to Oreillys, no fuss, no matter. One day you will appreciate my help or suggestions, as you have an ice tea and a laugh looking at your bin of O'Reilly Spectra parts.
