the sender has a different style of bead form on the end of the hard line. It is more of a bulge to hold a hose on with clamps. The LS rail has a squared lip/ring form that is further from the end of the line. I don't think they make an adapter for the type of bead form on the sending unit. Atleast I have never seen one...

Compare the 2nd picture in post #1 of the tubes on the sender to the tubes on the LS fuel rail and you will see the differences I am trying to explain.
