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)

Doug - I've got another of the same fitting pictured in the Evil nipple thread.
These were used on Audi's...not sure what year but it was the cars recalled for fuel lines few years back |
