could somebody tell me what the exact size and type is of the v6 fiero fuel line fittings at the connection between the hard lines coming from the engine fuel block and the rubber flex lines that go down to the tank?

I had a local radiator shop replace the rubber section of both my hoses. Don't remember what size the fittings were, as iI re-used them all.

If your trying to rebuild the steel parts of the fuel line you might be better off going to the Fiero Store and getting a new line. My fuel line had a pin hole in it so I went to a place that makes hydraulic custom lines. They were be-futtled at this piece of work. They said the crimp was an odd-ball and they could not reproduce this hose to be an identical replacement. And they made mention of a person called Rube Goldberg.
Even if they could do it it would cost more than the Fiero Store hose which was over 100 bucks a year ago. Can you imagine?

Summit sells adapter(s) to convert to -6AN hose. They are made by Accel. The adapters screw into the fuel rail and the fuel filter, so you could replace the rubber lines with a -6AN SS line. I think you only get 2 adapters in the kit though............Paul

Thanks again for the information. I feel the need to explain. The reason Im asking is Im putting together a 2.8 to a 3800sc swap and will be adapting the standard 3800sc fuel rail to the v6 fiero fuel supply lines.

My goal is to come up with a transition piece that would connect to the 3800sc fuel rail with the standard push on connection and the threaded fiero connection at the fuel supply end.

Summit has them and Ebay has them cheaper ($25/pair). You need two pairs. I used them to mate to my TPI fuel rail which use the same as the Fiero. I may use them in my 3.4 to add an adapter for a fuel preasure gage and nitrous supply.
