Need help! What line is this?

[stew86MCSS396]

Plan to keep it the v6 to fuel injected. Just can’t find a replacement line for it. Was just wondering if I could make it a clamped line with new fuel hose

I would not be opposed to doing that since the Buick GN fuel sender didn't use the saginaw fitting and operates at a higher pressure than TBI does but if you're gonna just cut the fitting off, I recommend you do step one of a double flare to create the raised bubble, use a fuel injection rated hose and double clamp it with clamps made for efi not hose clamps. Btw...all the TPI retrofitters probably at one time had to address this.

Fuel injected or carbureted, you’ll have a pressure line coming off the sending unit and sending fuel to the engine, and a return line coming back to the sending unit. The pressure line should be 3/8” and the return 5/16”. The return line is the same regardless of whether it’s a FI V6 or Carbed V8

Typical what happens when you don't change out your old lines to new...

Electric FP, TBI 9 - 13, built in regulator spring is set to 9 psi. TPI was typically 15 psi. So if you use a TPI unit, I think still available at Rock Auto, you be ok. The FP Regulator built into the TBI unit will send any excess or above 9 psi supply. Back to the tank.
