The low pressure fluid output? I left the stock nipple alone. I didn't see any good reason to use expensive braided hose for the return system. If you still have the nipple, it's easy to use 3/8" rubber fuel line for that system (I just posted a pic of my setup the other day).

The fitting for that port is a weird one. I think Corvette Engineering was trying to make it available. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1806251

I have switched to a remote resivor and it is right next to that fitting I need to use a smaller line on it like -4an and it will only be a couple inches long. so if I can change that fitting so that it is a -4an that would help with space constrants.
