‘95 Jeep YJ 90-degree fuel line fitting @fuel pump

[YJ Charlie]

There is a 90-degree fluoroelastomer (rubber) fitting that connects the metal fuel line to the fuel filter. My fitting failed and leaked, and I am having a hell of a time trying to find it.

What makes this part so difficult is twofold, first is that it is a 90-degree fitting, second,

it reduces from 3/8" to 5/16". I have it jimmied right now with a 5/16" hose, but it is so close to kinking that it is just a temporary fix.

Has anyone had to replace this part? Does anyone know anywhere I may be able to find this part?

Your setup is what im running on my 91 and have been for 3 years without problems.

I used a straight piece of Baracade fuel line. I inserted a spring inside it, so it couldn't collapse. It's been in there for 8,500 miles, so far so good.

Thank you. That is comforting, it may have to be the permanent solution.

That is a good idea. I think I may need to try that. I was afraid that might restrict gas getting too filter, but good to know someone made that work.

I was able to buy that part brand new from Mopar a few years ago. I think it’s still available, I’ll try to find the part number.

Mopar 53004014. It’s around $30, which is absurd, but it’s a better choice than pretty much anything someone can cobble up themselves.

One solution would be to use a 90 deg. brass fitting with two barb fittings of the sizes that you need. Another would be to use a longer piece of hose like you have and loop it so that it doesn’t kink.

Holy bejesus, that is it!!!!! I just googled the Mopar part number and it came up. With shipping it’s over $30, but it works! Thank you I am going to pay that absurd price and put it in.
