Pump
Hello. I've just started to work on our 1997 Ram 1500 truck. I've got lots of issues, but the first is leaking fuel. Please take a look at the picture below. I marked the fuel lines 'A' and 'C', then dropped the tank.. The line marked 'B' is no where to be found. I didnt even see it until I had the tank out. What is it and where does it go!? Also, the 'A' line off the pump had a 90degree elbow that cracked off. Might have been the source of the leak, but I dont know for sure. Can anyone recommend a kit, advice, etc. for how best to put all this back together? I'm guessing there are some flexible hoses with the proper connector for the fuel pump, then just hose clamp them to the hard lines? Can I get the plastic tank pressure tested to make that wasnt leaking? Again, any advice, recommended parts sources, etc, is appreciated.

Doorman
The Part # is 800-121 from Doorman, this is just the part that goes onto the fuel pump inlet, kind of a nipple. I had to cut off the old hose where it mates to the steel line, its kind of glued on. I used double clamps on both ends and fuel injection hose. If I remember correctly I also cut about 1/2 inch or so off the Dooman nipple because of clearances with the frame. It says on the package that it is a "Steel Body fuel line connecter" for Ford..GM...and Dodge. Hope this helps.

I actually called Doorman the other day and their phone "tech" couldn't verify any of their products would fit. I'm gonna buy the 800-121 and the 800-059 today (the-059 has the 90 bend and the nylon tubing). I'll report back on here if the 800-059 fits and clears the frame. Thanks again for all of the replies.

Yes, it was the A connector that broke off. Below is a picture of the Doorman piece I am going to try. I have not posted an update, cause this is as far as I got. Been very busy, and everything takes twice as long without the truck. Just cant seem to get free&non-raining time to get back to it. I took off the quick connect holder from the A connector (the little plastic holder) and connected the new piece to the A connector. Snapped right on, seems correct, but I have not pressurized it yet, so I cant say one way or the other if its gonna work.
