What It Helps Fix

• Cracked or broken fuel line connector ends
• Fuel leaks at the quick disconnect connection
• Damaged nylon fuel line fittings from age or heat exposure
• Failed outlet or return line connector interfaces
• Service issues caused by worn fuel line connection points

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the fuel line size and connector style before installation. This part uses a quick disconnect design on one end and a 5/16 in. connection on the other, so matching the vehicle’s original fuel line configuration is important. Inspect the surrounding fuel line for heat damage, brittleness, or deformation before completing the repair.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs this connector as a direct replacement for the original fuel line fitting, with materials selected for fit and durability in underhood service conditions.
