Hello fellow zilvians,

I need some experienced advice.

The last thing on my list for the new car is fuel system. I've never seen or used "posh loc" style hose before and I need to know more about how to use it correctly.

1. I want to know if I can use this hose
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-8-Synthetic-Rubber-6-AN-Fuel-Line-Coolant-Push-On-Air-Hose-Push-Lok-Loc-Lock-/262500898247?hash=item3d1e45d5c7:g:ElUAAOSwayZXjsy 5&vxp=mtr

and clamp it directly onto the factory feed and return lines, and if not, how to go about doing that.

2. Next, I want to know if this barb fitting
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLUE-3-8-barb-to-6-AN-O-Ring-Boss-Adapter-AN-Fitting-/162193439953?hash=item25c37b7cd1:g:HIkAAOSwk5FUwSi 3&vxp=mtr

which just says "barb" can be used somehow, and if the push loc line wont clamp to the factory feed/return, then I can use basic rubber fuel hose with these barb fittings in an aeromotive regulator to fuel the engine.

And finally ,
I want to use this regulator
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aeromotive-13129-EFI-Adjustable-Fuel-Pressure-Bypass-Regulator-30-70-PSI-/401228408594?hash=item5d6b13a712:g:B7UAAOxy4XNSR7p c&vxp=mtr&autorefresh=true

With some 6-an fittings, either push loc, or basic barb, unless you experienced have another regulator in mind (I've never bought a regulator before, always used OEM stuff). This is for LSx application 600~bhp.

Buy the regulator from an authorized dealer...replicas exist.

Good advice, what do you think of it here

Many sold good feedback, usually ok

I bought some barb fittings for the time being, and I bought a couple feet of pushloc hose to play with. The barbs will help me fuel the engine with regular rubber hose for now; when I figure out how the pushloc stuff works I will switch over to it. I've never had to setup an aftermarket regulator, well, almost. One time about 13 years ago I setup an aftermarket regulator on an EFI V8 setup in my backyard. I used braided hose though. I wanted to avoid hose ends because the real deal are very expensive, and I dont trust the chinese hose ends with fuel.

Seller responded:
"yes sir, we are 100% direct warehouse for Aeromotive.

I'd just call them up www.aeromotive.com and verify with
them. "

You mean AN fittings? Take a look at summit's own fittings, they're made in America and reasonably priced. I'm not one to like running shiny silver/blue/red hoses and fittings everywhere but I used their stuff for my oil cooler lines and turbo lines for the past 4 years with no issues. They also come in black :)
