Does anyone have the fuel line that goes to the rail? There are 2 next to each other, we need the one on the drivers side.
Thnx in advance!

The line is one continuous piece from the fuel filter just in front of the driver's rear tire, all the way to the rail.
IMO, the best option is removing the plastic line where it connects to the metal line, and replacing it with good quality rubber fuel hose. Make sure the rubber hose is rated for EFI pressures (100+).
I've been running in this way for several years without a hitch, fwiw.
Or buy a Hard-line adapter for a AN line, run a short span of -6 line, and get a quick-connect An fitting to keep the stock rails, with fittings and lines, should be $40 - $75, I feel better with a compression fitting, and Braided lines than I would with a fuel line and clamps
This is, arguably, the most "right" way to do it, from a safety and longevity standpoint especially.
If you're like me, and hate spending money on things that don't make the car go faster, the rubber line, double clamp method is more appealing. It probably cost me less than ten dollars, but is likely more at risk of a leak, and is much less serviceable as you lose the quick-connect at the rail.
On a $1500 car, I'd be hesitant to get too fancy with fittings and such, as it sounds as if the car will probably rust in half sooner than a rubber line would take to fail.
Ah, I didn't realize that this is a beater... In that case, rubber fuel line, double clamps (3/4 for feed, 5/16 for the Return IIRC)
3/8" feed line, correct on the return though...
3/4" feed line would be pretty nuts!
Probably a good idea, its a leak-fest in there!
Should have took me with when you purchased. I would have told you if said GTP was a junkbox.
I think DOUBLE D has a spare Gen 3 M90 but its not from a 97 (not sure it would work) When installing the new blower you should probably replace the Valve cover gaskets, LIM gaskets, coolant elbows, change the fluids, plugs, wires etc.

Well all cars are junk to you Panda! Really it was $1500 so I expected some hidden problems. If it can be made to last him a year then its worth it. he just needed something to get him work everyday.
