Re: Help with fuel system design for LS1 install

So your question is: How do I attach AN hose to my trucks factory pickup/sending unit?

Or am I missing something?

What type of hose are you using? If you are using teflon SS hose you will not be able to clamp your hose to the sender. One option there would be to use a compression fitting to AN adapter. If you are using regular SS hose you can simply slip it on the pick up and clamp it. Hope this helps.

No that's exactly it. I bought regular braided hose and all the A/N connectors that glock had listed in his build thread.

I'm trying to find a piece-by-piece order of what to do but searching the board and even google just gives a hodge-podge of information that is only half there, if that.

Any information, especially how to join the braided line to the fuel sender as shown in my pic attached would help! Thanks!!

In the picture of the sending unit, what does the pipe in the middle of the sending unit do?
