I ordered some parts from Summit for connecting my (hard) fuel lines to flex hose the other day. I assumed that I'd have to find stock Porsche fittings to connect the new fuel lines to the stock fuel accumulator/filter that's required for my 2.7L CIS engine. Just for the heck of it I tried one of the -6AN fitting that Summit sent me and (to my surprise) it seemed to fit the threads on the accumulator and the filter. Could that be right, Porsche using AN thread sizes for stock fittings?
One potential problem however is that the accumulator/filter fittings aren't tapered or flared for the AN fittings so what will I need to buy to get the -6 stuff to work? Maybe some kind of coupler or something? I assume it would leak without a flare on both pieces. Here's a picture. Doug C Attached image(s) |

Hey Evil, does the fitting that ejm sent you attach to -6AN hose? That's what I would need. And you actually need two right, one for the return..well, the accumulator has two fittings, do you know what the other one goes to, I haven't really looked in to it yet. Come to think of it I think the CIS unit has a fitting that goes to the second outlet (I just don't know what it's for, maybe a warm up regulator?) I need to read up about what Artechnika had to say about the earls stuff too... I find this plumbing stuf to be sooo complicated. BTW, did I attach the nut and sleeve correctly - there's a couple of ways it could go if you're a complete -an novice like me and none of this stuff comes with instructions.
