So, I have a valve and lines like this (borrowed pic from another thread):
My question is: what fittings have others used to plumb rubber fuel line into the plastic fuel lines, when replacing or eliminating the selector valve?
I have a new selector valve to put in and would PREFER to not have to run all new line if it is a safe and viable option to plumb into the plasitc.
What year truck is it you are working on?
The valve looks to be for a EFI truck as I think they are the ones that use that plastic line.
The early valves are for NON-EFI trucks and have barbs that use rubber hose at least my 81 does.
The only thing I found was it hard to find my 3 port valve as most you find are 6 ports.
I got mine off either Amazon or Ebay and got a spare the last time just in case.

ps when my new valve stopped working and I ordered 2 new valves, before I changed it out I found the fuse blew because of a bad connection I made.
I now have 2 spare valve LOL
That is a valve that came on the carbed engines. I just slip rubber fuel line over the plastic lines with a hose clamp. Never had a problem doing it. You can put the rubber line directly onto the valve with a clamp also.
I have a new valve from Borg-Warner. It's good to hear that the fuel line can be slipped on the plastic....will try that first. No pressure at this point in the system all suction, so I can see why it could be fine.
