What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

...The fittings I have are Dorman 800-080 (5/15") and 800-082 (3/8"). I'd offer to send you one of each, pressed into a length of tubing for you to splice in. But, not being able to guarantee the condition of the O-rings, I'm thinking you're better off buying something newer.

That one Dorman connector (5/16"?) shows a length of 18 inches, so I'll bet it has a good long nylon pigtail on it for a single splice inline. That would be ideal.

^^^Aaaand there's your something newer, @89Suburban!

You have a link for those quick connect ends? Maybe I can use those somehow.


Mine is a flex fuel so I have a blue 3/8 connector and a green 5/16 connector. There is no third port like some of the other pumps have.

I don’t. IIRC I just searched for GM fuel line quick connect fittings.

I was curious and dug into this. Dorman 800-058 is a 3/8" connector with 18" of nylon tubing and a union to splice it to the existing tubing. 800-057 is the same but for 5/16".

@89Suburban, I don't know if you shop Amazon, but here:

3/8"- https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-800-058-Nylon-Fuel-Repairkit/dp/B000CIV4PU

5/16"- https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-800-0...2dce8&pd_rd_wg=SoXgk&pd_rd_i=B000CIXMLY&psc=1

Under $30 in materials and it's plug-and-play.

Yeah only thing throw me off the trail is the Amazon site says “does not fit your vehicle”.

It’s because not every vehicle is listed in the application charts for a lot of parts like this because the list would break the internet, it’s so long.

I got orings. Send your address and everyone will send ya some of each and you can cobble something together…

This is an awesome package, maybe it's one of the Dorman things worth getting! Seems perfect for the job.

Kind of curious, @89Suburban why you had to cut the nylon lines. I take it you weren't able to remove the metal pump lines from the (not-so-quick) connectors?

If we went by what Amazon said when it came to car parts, they'd have a massive drop in those sales.

It's pretty much a universal part- a compatibility chart would be ridiculously long, as Mark said.

It's like buying a replacement garden hose end. They're universal. You just buy for a 1/2" (who has that?!), 5/8" (common) or 3/4" (contractor hose). Doesn't matter the brand of hose.

I don't see how they could screw this up. The O-rings are Buna and the plastic body and lock seem to be equally as good as OEM. I'm still in contact with the current owner of my S10 and he's never had any problems with that part of the fuel system. That was my intent- to copy the factory design intended to last hundreds of thousands of miles. The only non-factory aspect is the brand of connectors I used, and they're fine.
