fuel line olives

While taking the truck apart the olive on the ip inlet line from the fuel filter housing is disintegrated. Can i attach it without the olive temporarily?

Where do i get a replacement?

Hey Tanner,

I have cut small pieces of 1/4" fuel line to work short term. Putting it back together w/o an olive will run like a faucet. I have ordered from Jim Vreeland Ford for replacements.

that part number you gave me in your other thread shows that it comes with olives. those should be the ones you need.

I replaced mine with a rubber fuel line hose. Got a barb fitting at the hardware store and NMB2 got me the fitting for the ip. Makes it easier timing also.

Wow i feel stupid. I just looked at them and your right. For some reason i thought they were nylon spacers or something. They look different when they are not on the lines.

I wondered why they decided to use steel lines. I suppose durability. They can be a bit of PITA to get on. Hows the hose holding up?

I can only imagine adjusting the timing is easier without having to fight with a hard line.

I may end up replacing the hardline in the future as i want to put another better filtering fuel filter after the stock one to keep junk out of the pump.

So far so good. It's only been on for a couple months. Think I will get some wire loom and put around it. It's rubbing the intake a little.

Which olive would I need for the return line at the T that goes back to the tank? I think that's my culprit on my hard starts.

The lines on the t should just be rubber hose clamped on. Unless your talking about the injector o rings.

There's a hard line going into this fitting, and then it has a rubber line that runs down the back of the motor towards the tank that's clamped on. I believe another soft line that goes to the other side of the motor for the return is hooked in here too.

i'm pretty sure thats the 5/16 one, but honestly if you're going to change any of them, change all of them. it'll save you a lot of headache in the end
