EFI In-tank Sending unit...what connects to this?

[NOTPRETTY]

I have modified my Tank to accept the Explorer In-tank pump and sending unit for my EFI swap. When I bought the motor I got the complete sending unit so I thought why not use it.

Anyway, I don't have much knowledge about this stuff. I am looking for the fittings that will connect to the feed and return line at the sending unit. I searched google for images that shows a sending unit connection, but failed. The two lines have a lip near the end of the line and I assume something connects over the lip and locks the line in place. Is it as simple as a hose and clamp...thought clamps were no no on EFI...? Again, kind of duhhh...when it comes to this stuff.

My set up is very simple...

Tank Pressure feed from sending unit....In line filter....to fuel rail connection at motor...Return fuel rail connection at motor....to tank sending unit return connection.

Want to do it as cheap as I can. At the rail/motor end I think I know what I need, but it does depend on if I run hard line or pay up for hose and the fittings that would follow.

IIRC the hoses just slide over the nipples on your sending unit and there should be a little clip that keeps them from sliding off. I'm sure you could get them from Ford because junk yard ones may be brittle or missing completely.

Sorry...IIRC the hoses??

The second pic is the connection at the fuel rail.

All for high pressure lines are the same except the supply side at the fuel pump/sender. All lines Ae 5/16. There are some ford to an adapters available but to be honest, the ford ones are pretty simple to use. you'll need to go grab some from pick and pull.

The lines are the rail are are interchangeable, but there is some sort of diagphram thing on the supply side.

I took my bronco lines to my hydro line guy and had him. Make me some all new lines.

Re: EFI In-tank Sending unit...what connects to this?

Still wanting to know what type of connector is needed to connect to the feed/return lines that stick out of the tank/sending unit end. Picture? What is it called. Its not a end that requires the little plastic tools to release. I think its an "orb" type connection, but...in the end I just want to know what I need to buy to connect to them.

It needs a fuel disclosure tool, plastic or metal.

Lines are pictured above

These are the fittings I used with EFI hose.

I think these are the fitting that will hook to the steel line. But you will still need to find some nylon tubing look at Scott Drake I think I seen some on his site.

You can only use these hose clamps on the return lines...

You need to use the solid band ones on the pressure hoses... No little opennings in the clamp to dig into the hose and it is a more even squeeze

here are a few pics of the fittings





and my new lines from the sender to hard return and supply to filter

Re: EFI In-tank Sending unit...what connects to this?

I still have no clue what I need...

The two metal lines coming from the sending unit/Tank that have a lip about 3/4" up from the end do not connect to any spring lock female connectors I have. So, the little plastic tool used to release such a thing would not work as far as I can tell.

Several people posted links but when you click the links it is for an entire website with hundreds of various end and none were specific. So, I'm still confused.

On the ron morris site there are "Duckbill" fittings and "Springlock" fittings. I know spring lock fitting will not work so...is it Duckbill that i need? I think not since it says they are for connecting to nylon hose.

Also on the Ron Morris site they have a piece of "bundy" line which is exactly what I have and am trying to connect to, but I clicked on it and it says nothing about what is used to connect to it...it says compression fitting, but that's how you connect the bundy fitting to standard non-EFI fuel line to make it EFI fuel line. What you connect on the other side...is what I can't figure out.

Yea.....That's it. I can see a lip built in that for the lip. And I can see how the little plastic tool would work with that. What are those called? Where can I get those?

I think this link takes you to the fitting I can buy from Russell. It says "For OEM hard line" quick disconnect and I think serves the same purpose as the stuff pictured above.

NOTPRETTY,

I am in the exact same boat. I found these on summit and they fit perfectly on the explorer sending unit. While I am few weeks away from getting it running I think it will work with EFI fuel hose and the proper efi clamps (solid band). From the filter forward I used stock lines from a 93 F150.

I built the tank but used the factory sending unit and retaining ring. Here's a few links and some photos.
