Ok, great. That's about what I expected them to be actually. I didn't figure they'd need to be super tight to seal correctly anyways.
Thanks Clay!

Welp, looks like I've already ran into some issues.
From reading the instructions and comparing to the fittings I received from DFA, I'm almost certain I'm missing some fittings.
Looks like I got all the hose I need.
Got the front banjo bolts, got the replacement fittings for the plugs in the back of the heads, got the 1/4" hose that runs from the replacement fittings down to the module. However, I'm missing the "T" that joins the two 1/4" hoses together and converts it to a single 3/8" line running to the module.
Also, Clay it looks like I got one of the tanks without a pick up tube as well. I pulled the two center connections off and from what I can see, no pick up tube.
So...not sure it's gonna happen this weekend...:dunno:
Here is a couple pics of what I got with the kit. This is all the fuel/water related hardware that came with it

Top left to right - replacement fittings for plugs, replacement check valves/bolts for front of the motor.
Can someone tell me what the elbows are for? I have yet to find a need for them from the instructions.
Bottom left to right - #6 JIC fitting to 3/8" barb - used to run from "T" (that joins the 1/4" lines) to the module and I assume from the module back to the tank. However, to do this, you'd need four of them - so I'm one short. Looks like I'm short some hardware for the tank as well.
Finally, on the bottom right, one #6 JIC to 1/4" barb and one 1/4" flare (don't know the JIC # for 1/4" flare) to 1/4" barb fitting. No clue where these go.
The missing fittings don't concern me that much - I can pick up what I need locally to "make" it work - unless what DFA sends is something special that you can pick up at Home Depot?
Also, do all the barb fittings need hose clamps? Doesn't mention it anywhere in the instructions.
Clay, any idea if I'm short on fittings? Sure seems like it to me.
If someone could just tell me what size lines and fittings go where, I'm sure I could handle it once I pick up the missing fittings (assuming they're not a special type).
Thanks!

I'm not seeing the hardware to tap into your heater hoses either. the elbows maybe for the fuel line and return line on the tank?
Call Jason, this is unnaceptable and you can tell him i said that. :sofa:
And then tell him to get me my gosh dern pickup tube!
Then tell him i'm kidding.
No worries on the heater hose hardware - I got those, just didn't include them in the picture.
By the way, you happen to have any pictures of what hose they are referring to? I'm pretty sure I can find the hose for coolant to the tank, but what other one do I tap into for the return? Or do I just put both "T's" into the same line?
I thought the same thing for the elbows, but the threads in the tank are female, which is the same as the elbow. The elbows are flared on one end and a female swivel on the other. Different size it appears as well.
Haha...I'll have to give them a call here shortly.
Thanks!
Well, if he could, that'd be great really. Not sure it'd make it this weekend (unless it's Saturday delivery), but I could finish it next weekend I suppose.
The big thing is having the truck still in a driveable state. Unlike my other cars, I have to drive this thing just about every day.
Swapping those front bolts won't have any adverse affects without the rest of the system right? (Probably a stupid question...haha. :tard
Putting the wiring in won't bother anything either correct?
And, like you said, I could probably mount the module, tank and at least run the coolant lines to the tank.
I might still try to get that done this weekend...
