I need to replace my fuel lines from the fuel rail to the chassis with something better. Has anyone used the quick disconnect to barb fittings (Dorman 800-080)? I'd rather not spend $80 on new BMW fuel lines that I'll have to cut anyway. I like the idea of using a barb fitting with brand new 8x13mm fuel hose straight to the chassis hard lines. I'm using a fuel rail with integrated FPR from a '97 528i. I've never used quick disconnect fittings before so I'm a little unclear on how to do this properly or if those Dorman fittings will even work on a BMW line.

The Dorman 800-080 is made for nylon tubing.
For use with rubber hose try 800-782 instead.
The page says it's 3/8", but it's actually 5/16". I ordered one and was surprised.
Also note the double barb... it can be double clamped. STRONGLY recommended for the supply line.
