    Bump - any updates? What line did you end up using with the 14x1.5mm nut? How’s it holding up?

    Sorry for the late reply. I bought thr 5/16" brake line and 14mmx1.5 nut mentioned before (see below). I used these to make a solid fuel line that can attach to the filter properly (for easy replacement in the future). I bought about a foot of fuel injector hose from Advance Auto in person, so I can't look up the size unfortunately. I've checked about once a month to make sure there's no leaks and so far this repair has held up. I attached a picture of the completed repair below.
