Corvette fuel filter question.
Can you use 3/8 rubber hose and hose clamps on the c5 corvette filter?

Not recommended. The ends are smooth and not intended for use with rubber hose (barbed ends).

and to add to that, if you are running the fuel injection of an LS type motor it runs at 65psi.

Russel and others make a 5/16" and 3/8" quick disconnect fittings. The pump puts out a lot of pressue to the 3/8", but you can use a hose clamp on the 5/16" return.

Thanks Garys 68, that is the fitting I need. I have the -6 adapter on the return side, but there isn't room on the filter for two -6 adapters. So I'll get one of those 3/8 fittings for the supply side. I bought one of the plastic hoses, but needed several adapters to hook it to the fuel tank.
