-8an Fuel Pick-Up & Return Kit

The -8AN Fuel Pick-Up & Return Kit by JAZ is an essential component for any serious fuel system upgrade or custom fuel tank installation. Designed for automotive enthusiasts and fabricators building high-performance or street-driven vehicles, this kit provides the plumbing infrastructure needed to safely and efficiently transfer fuel from the tank to the engine and back. Whether you're installing an aftermarket fuel tank, upgrading to a fuel injection system, or integrating a surge tank into your build, a properly sized fuel line kit ensures consistent fuel delivery under all load conditions.

The -8AN designation refers to the AN (Army-Navy) fitting standard, which specifies a hose inner diameter of 0.50 inches—ideal for fuel system applications requiring controlled flow rates and minimal pressure drop. This kit includes both pick-up and return line provisions, allowing you to implement a complete dual-line fuel system that improves fuel pump efficiency and reduces heat buildup in the return circuit. JAZ manufactures precision-engineered fuel system components with durable construction, ensuring reliable performance under sustained high-flow conditions. The compact package dimensions (7.95 x 1.3 x 17.05 inches) make it practical for under-hood routing, while the 0.43 lb weight reflects aluminum and braided hose construction that balances durability with weight savings.

This fuel pick-up and return kit is ideal for custom hot rod builds, EFI conversions, race car fuel systems, and fuel cell installations where OEM tank plumbing is unavailable or insufficient. Fabricators and engine builders appreciate -8AN systems for their standardized fitment with aftermarket fuel pumps, regulators, and filters. Proper installation requires routing the pick-up line to the lowest point inside the tank (typically with a 100-micron sock strainer) and the return line for gravity-assisted flow back to the tank. Verify compatibility with your specific fuel pump outlet size, regulator inlet specification, and tank mounting configuration before purchase. This kit serves as the foundation for fuel system upgrades on street machines, vintage restorations, and performance vehicles where factory fuel delivery falls short of modern engine demands.
