Where can I find a replacement for this fuel fitting?

[RobertJ]

Hey everyone, I am nearing completion of my 1997 Sahara project. I'm done with the frame repairs and fully replaced the shocks, control arms and springs. While under my TJ I noticed a slight fuel leak at the attached fitting. It is at the end of the fuel line and begins the ascent into the engine compartment. I am thinking I need to replace the hose that heads up there to fix this. The stainless fuel line is fine, but this connection needs help. I have found some part numbers but want to make sure I order the right one.

Anyone know what part I need to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help.

That’s a spring lock fitting.

A local hose shop should be able to make any new line with that what looks like a JIC swivel, I can't tell for sure looking on this small screen,,,gregg

I just wanted to follow up on this thread to help any future searchers. someguysjeep's parts that he indicated would work would definitely gotten the job done, so again I thank him for the information.

I ended up going with a nicer looking braided option that was priced a bit more:

Edelbrock 651111 Fuel Hose Kit 1997-06 Jeep Wrangler 4.0L

It appears this option will last the life of the TJ, and it looks nice in there:
