Tired of having up pipe and alky line in the way

[TT/Ameasap]

Is there a brass fitting I can use to separate the Uppipe and alky line..Kinda like an AN fitting for a quick disconnect? I would like to leave the nozzle and 90° fitting on the up pipe while the line is disconnected.

I've thought about that also, but discarded that idea after I thought about it as just another thing to leak and go wrong.

9/16 wrench and the -4an braided line disconnects pretty easy from the nozzle .


otherwise something like this ..http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Disconnect-Compressed-Nipple/dp/B009S9ZHCA
but the seals would need to be resisant to methanol and the metal used would have to be brass or stainless otherwise you could end up with leaks and a popped motor

That's what i do now as it rarely needs to come off and doesn't warrant complicating it and inviting problems.

How old is your kit. First gen kits had 1/8 NPT threads on one side of the hose. Everything probably from mid 2004 and latter have had -4 hose ends on the both sides of the hose.

2004 PAC with new pump

for the 2004 you probably have the 1/8 npt ended hose that screwed directly into the up pipe elbow.
if you want easy disconnect you'll want to get a 4an -1/8 mnpt brass fitting , then replace the hose section from the filter to the up pipe with a 4AN female ended hose
im sure julio could hook you up with the parts

if you decide to go with the disconnect i linked i make no claims to how it will work with methanol
