77' FJ40 - Fuel Line Union at Carburetor

[GA Architect]

I'd like to locate a 77' fuel line union at the carb, see the photo below - the left union adaptor. Mine has a banjo fitting with a small rubber fuel line run between it and the hard line. I can't seem to locate one and I'd like to replace the entire fuel line, as I have the nut for that missing union.

I have looked all over the internet and can't find one.

Get the part numbers off Toyodiy.com , those parts are still available as I ordered a set for my '77 when installing a new THC carb . The one line isn't available but easily made by using the oem fittings/ferrules/nuts and bending your own steel fuel line .

I'm not sure what you want. Union? A union joins two pipes together.

The fuel inlet fitting on the stock carb is straight thread on both ends. The end that goes in the carb seals on a washer while the other end is a compression fitting. Like Sarge said, it is not that hard to make up a new fuel line. You just need a nut and ferrule on the carb end.

Thanks.....The typical parts store I get my stuff from toyotaonlineparts.com couldn't find the part and another Toyota site said the part was discontinued. I see that quickparter.com shows some stores that have the part. I'll check with them tomorrow.

Yes, I plan on making my own fuel lines and have the nuts & ferrules....now I just need the union fitting.

Per the parts listing, the piece I need (21894-61020) is called a union, nipple

SOR part number (042-143E) says discontinued - not available at this time. But their part number (028-070A-U) looks to be the same piece and they have that one. I'll call them tomorrow and find out.

The stock fitting is not a union, which may be why you are having trouble finding it. If it was a union, it would have a compression fitting on both ends. It is an inlet nipple. It has 13 x 1.25 of the carb end with a flat sealing surface on the hex base and a 9mm - 3/8 inch compression on the other. I may have a couple in my junk box if SOR doesn't have it.

Pin Head - sent you a PM

Here is a photo showing the banjo fitting I'd like to replace.

Pin_Head, you're good people. I'm so used to seeing people hoard every little thing it restores my hope for mankind!!!

For future reference, I'm pretty sure the carb side is 12mmx1.25. You can use this Earl's fitting meant for a Del Orto Carb to convert to -6AN and run a nice braided fuel supply line.
