Replacing EFI fuel line
My friend helped me work on my van and he somehow (after handing him the special tool) completely trashed two of the spring lock couplers, one on top of the tank where the pump is located which runs to the back of the fuel filter and another one at the front of the fuel filter which leads to the fuel rail.
There is only 1 fuel filter on a 1992 ford e150, it is located on the frame under drivers seat, the one on the bottom of the pump is not a filter but simply a strainer.
Rather than having to remove both lines and have them repaired i would rather build two new lines and just bypass the old ones, so, what fittings do i need for the larger 3/8" line and what is cost effective high pressure fuel line to go along with the fittings ?
I will need 4 fittings the same size and enough line to run from the pump which is located midship on the tank (side mounted tank) all the way forward connecting with fuel filter and ending at fuel rail.

You asked this same question 5 days ago -

I thought you had this resolved with taking the lines to a Ford dealer and having them repaired
I have no idea where you can just get the fittings, these are stainless flex lines, and I'm sure any fittings would only be threw a specialized shop that deal with high pressure fuel lines.

Decided to scrap the van and buy another one, too much work for me to fix at this point, all done screwing with it. I was a fool to trust someone else with repairs on my van, lesson learned..

Correct, that and the gas tank is laying on the ground.
I am double amputee at both knees and wheelchair user, making further repairs to the van is just not feasible, i would injure myself trying to fix it and i still can't guarantee it will run when i am all done, all done throwing good money after bad..
Much easier and safer for me to just scrap it and buy another one..

Pulling the sound system out of my current van will be a week long project, remove the 2-way paging alarm, disassemble the bed, have it towed to a dealer to have the $8,000 wheelchair lift and hand controls removed, call a scrapyard and have it towed...
Begin the slow process of putting all that stuff into the new van, argh..

Sorry to hear. Where are you located? DOes that van have a bunch of other problems? Maybe there's a fellow vanner in your area that might be able to lend you a hand.

Yea, that sounds a little extreme.
Even if you hired a shop, or traveling mechanic to finish the fuel line repairs, the cost would be a fraction what the accessible accessories removal and re-install into another van, that and even if the accessories would be usable in a different model/year
Good luck with this.
