Compré esto para detener la perdida de gasolina eni auto y funcionó muy bien.

Works Good

repair the line and save money while doing so.

went on well. Seem to be just fine

I had bought a pre-made nylon fuel line for my truck. Soon as installed, it leaked at both ends, where the manufacturer used fittings with the wrong size barbs. I was in a hurry, so ordered these from Amazon, while waiting for them to resolve the problem. I warmed up the ends of the nylon line just enough to make it warm, but not too hot and flexible, put a little grease on the barbs, and just jammed them in by hand, no clamps as recommended to not use. They have now been installed and driven several weeks to work, with no problems. Everything is dry, no leaks.

This is perfect for a 2002 Saturn L100 fuel tank output from the fuel pump to the filter (fuel RETURN to the tank requires the smaller 5/16 quick-connect). This 3/8 adapter will also work on the fuel filter outlet to the engine. Over the years these quick connects wear out, get loose, and just pop off...not a good thing while driving on the highway.Also get Dorman's 3/8 nylon fuel hose and a heat gun, put a spark-plug sized wire inside the hose to prevent kinking, and heat the hose just enough to bend it to the correct shape of the original hose.

Used this to fix the fuel tank side of the fuel line on my 2010 Canyon. Softened the line with a heat gun, yanked off the old fitting, and shoved the new one on. Took much less time/effort than expected and has not leaked.

These connectors work great, but getting the nylon fuel line fully attached can take a lot of work.Lot's of YT videos on how to heat the nylon fuel line to attach to the fuel line fitting using a heat gun, but be careful not to get the heat TOO hot or the nylon line will bubble, around 400 degrees is about right.Move the heat gun around the entire diameter of the tubing. As soon as it's pliable enough, force the tubing onto the Dorman fuel line fitting. Maybe place the connector against a hard surface such as a table first. If it doesn't go past the 3rd rib on the connector, heat it up some more, keep it going on as straight as possible, and be patient.I replaced a fuel pump on a 98 Ford Explorer, and this Dorman fuel line connector ended up getting the job done, and the best part, NO LEAKS!!!
