The Texas Speed 8AN to 5/16" Female Quick Disconnect EFI Adapter with Metal Fitting joins a 5/16" EFI quick disconnect fuel line connection to a -8AN male thread. The quick disconnect end is the female side of the connection, so it snaps over a 5/16" male quick connect tube end such as the one on a factory-style fuel line, filter or rail, and the other end is a -8AN male flare that accepts a standard -8AN hose end. This lets an AN braided feed line be run to a factory quick connect point in one piece. Texas Speed lists this as the version with a metal fitting.
Like the rest of the Texas Speed adapter fitting line, this piece is machined from 6061 aluminum and black anodized to resist corrosion from fuel, oil and road exposure. Texas Speed builds its adapters to take extra joints out of a plumbing run, which keeps the assembly compact where space is tight and lowers the total cost of the system compared with stacking several fittings. Texas Speed rates the fitting as compatible with most fuels, solvents and oils, so it suits gasoline, E85 and oil systems.
