AFC plumbing question

Well, the steel line going from the banjo to the head finally broke...too many timing 'adjustments', I guess I'm sure the banjo bolt is metric...and 1/8'' npt into the head. Do I have any options for rigging something up, or do I have to search for one of these little buggers?
Thanks!
greg

Really? Wow, it'd be worth the 10 bucks to get out of permanent 'valet' mode

im pretty sure you can just use a 1/8 thread fitting a put your own plastic line in, it would cost less then $10

Your first mistake was going to the dealer before you exhausted all other possible sources. DC dealers seem to like to stick it to you real good. I also find that they will frequently tell you the part is no longer available just because it doesn't show up on their computer scren and he doesn't want to shift is a$$ to go see if it really IS unobtainium.

Doesn't Geno's sell this stuff?

I had a nylon tube with a bunch of weird adapters for a while (and a pic in my gallery...maybe that was one you saw) but it turned out that was one of my boost leaks, so out the window that went. The darn line broke too close to the banjo fitting, otherwise I'd just flare it and extend the line. My buddy at Fleet Pride is gonna see what he can come up with tomorrow. I'm also gonna call the local Cummins distributor. I want my AFC fueling back!!!
