Hi all,not CC related however I’m hoping someone here may be able to point me in the right direction.

I have a diesel powered boat, the fuel supply lines have collapsed where they come through a bulkhead, restricting fuel flow.

I’m searching for 1/2’  90 degree full flow elbow connectors, at 1/2 inch ID I’m right on the minimum ID required for the fuel lines given the run length,other connections and filters. The engine’s fuel delivery and return specs have to be met or exceeded, they're isn't enough room to get larger fuel line or fittings in the space I’m working with.

I cant use multiple threaded fittings to make up the 90’ and can’t use a sharp 90’ as it will restrict flow,and wont reach through the bulkhead.

Pictured is what I need however this fitting reduces in size (ID) on the bend.

Thanks

Pete -thanks for the response.

I hear you,however when contacting various suppliers of the above fitting none can give me any tech info on it.

All they can say is its 1/2’ and made in China, I cant even get drawings for its physical size or info on what material its made from.

I’m concerned about the quality of the fitting, and failing like most Chinese junk .

I looked into AN and Swaglock fittings initially and didn't find a solution, also there is no way to get tools in there to secure everything,its going to be a struggle to get a screwdriver in one side to tighten hose clamps,on the other side of the bulkhead there is 1’ of clearance between the bulkhead and the generator soundshield (all hidden from view)

It was installed new this way,all the fuel lines where run through the bulkhead and the generator pushed hard against them bending the fuel lines 90 degrees.

I appreciate your input,thank you.
