I have been hangin' around the forum soaking up information for a while and thanks to all of the excellent information and experience represented on this forum I have decided to install a pre-OEM CAT fuel filter. I am planning to mount the filter similiare to the way Ccds and Maverick mounted theirs. Much thanks to 56Nomad for the great post of consolidated fuel filter info'.
My question is about the fuel pressure in the line coming from the tank and into the OEM fuel filter, is this a high or low pressure line? I have inspected the stock fuel line and from the way the fittings look I am thinking this line is pressurized? I am asking becuase I want to use proper fittings when I plumb in the flexible fuel line for the new filter. Would an appropriate connection be made by flaring the cut ends of the metal fuel line, slipping 1/2" flexible fuel line over it, and securing with a worm gear type clamp? Your thoughts/ experiences would be appreciated.
BTW, I have a little over 17k miles on my Duramax.
Go Diesel power! ;)
