I created a problem when I added an in-line fuel filter. The hose has a serious kink in it which shuts off fuel flow. I have searched for a 5/16" 90 degree elbow with barbs on both ends (for 5/16" hose to slip over), and I can only find tees.

The only other alternative I can think of, is to insert a loosely coiled spring inside of the hose in the area of the kink.

Do you know a source for 5/16" 90 degree barbed elbows?
Any other ideas?

Close, very close. At the bottom of the same page, I see one made of Acetal, which will work with gasoline. It is metric, but the 8mm is only 0.003" larger than 5/16". It will work fine.
Thank you, thank you.[sm=smiley20.gif]

 

oops, you are correct. Part # 2429K48

I read chemical resistance and did not read further.

 

Or, you can make your fuel line longer and coil the extra tubing, versus making a sharp bend. Zip tie the extra to the frame or other secure spot. Kinda cobbed, but it would work and save you buying teflon tape and pipe fittings...

 

No Teflon tape required Jeff. But that is a good idea as well.
