...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!

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.

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

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.
