Fuel line question
 
I am installing an underbed tank.
Currently have 250ci
Going to be installing a healthy LS at some point but this will be down the road.

Going to run AN 6 from the tank to the pump.

How do you connect an AN 6 line to the oem barb on the fuel pump?

The barb fitting on the fuel pump should thread out, and you put in a 6AN to 3/8" (?) fitting.

Something like the following (confirm your pump fitting size for yourself): https://www.amazon.com/Russell-66046...82452829&psc=1

If for whatever reason it doesn't thread out, then can hose clamp the other end of the line, as the ID should be about the same, or go from a 6AN to a barbed fitting, then have a run of line between the two barb fittings.

Thanks, I thought the barb was pressed into with the hat and not removable.

Some are simply part of the fuel pump and not removable. If this is the case you can either find a way to clamp the AN end to the barb either directly or by getting an AN to barb fitting, and then a hose for a barb-to-barb connection, or, you can use an aftermarket fuel pump that would use thread-in fittings.
