    Hello, I recently noticed my car leaking fuel from my fuel supply line. I checked it out and it is missing that clear retainer clip that goes above the blue one. Does any one know any fix for this instead of purchasing an entire new line? I've also read online that people have gotten by without the clip, so it seems like that I am just not so lucky. Any help is appreciated.

    I've seen someone just wrapping zip tie over the plastic elbow to the HPFP nipple and it's worked well for them.

    You can run a compression fitting to 6an on the firewall supply side to the HPFP receive side. And then you can just run a 6an line. These work great and I have been running it like this for 2 years. AN fittings do not need to be hulk tight if you do that you will wreck them. Get them snug and then just a little more.

    Both lines use the same fitting.
    Firewall Feed - Vibrant Performance 16455 - Vibrant Performance AN to Tube Adapter Fittings
    HPFP Receive - Vibrant Performance 16455 - Vibrant Performance AN to Tube Adapter Fittings


    You can then buy a pre-made 6an line or make your own. I am not sure what size you angles you will need. I would think a 90 on each end and 18 inches maybe but you would have to do some measurements.
