i broke the return (white) fitting
the barb end. did it while trying to adjust the overflow tube. i wasn't even touching the damn fitting. just lifting the tank on the left side a bit and i heard a "snap." i knew what it was right away.
anyway, i've got a bunch of the chrome-plated brass fittings from CPC.
the part number for the tank side is LCD10004.
the part number for the elbow-barb side is LCD23006.
i've got about 6 extra of each. if anyone needs them, i'd be happy to send them. my cost was $11/ea., not including shipping. it'll probably only cost a couple of bucks to ship a few anywhere state-side.
also, i should point out that the fuel line on my 2005 F4 was rather unique. it's a dual-layer construction. the outer tube is a soft rubber-like material, which i believe is called Sunprene (trade name). the inner tube is a white, bendable, but stiff tube. i'm not exactly sure, but I think that stuff is some type of fluroelastomer (i.e. like teflon).
it's a real pita getting the barb end off that hose. the inner tube has a real good grip on the fitting, and I had to break mine apart to get it out of there. basically, i cut the end of the fitting off, so that only the barbed end was left in the hose. then i hit the hose with a hammer to break the barb tube. it came out in three pieces.
i'm working on a write-up for James's MV blog. so, check there in a couple of days for more details on this.
