FWIW I had an AUX hose made today at my local NAPA. It's a -5 JIC connector, the type used for hydraulic hoses on construction equipment. Same 37 deg. flare as on an AN. Had them attach the connector to 5ft of red 3/8 fuel line. Works 100% and cost 17 bucks. I have the original aux fuel...
Sorry to hear that....the search continues. I think they only had 3 of one and 7 of the other when I found them. I noticed someone in another thread found them also.
Just received my order for 2 fuel pumps. Glad to have them in the spares locker. Thanks again LITD.
Now I'm looking for 2 of the filters that attach directly to the primary fuel pump. Has anybody been able to source these lately, or maybe somebody has a couple in their parts stash that they...
Reviving an old thread and maybe you guys have since found a source but I found these today.

I'm throwing in the towel on these 2 Optima 51R batteries. They don't / won't hold a charge. I guess sitting idle for 8+ years didn't do them any good.
Going to try a pair of Champion AGM 51R. 4 yr warranty and $50.00 off at Pep Boys.
So here's a first update. Just checked on the battery that's been charging for the past 5 hours. I took the charger off and the battery is reading 12.3 V. I'll check again in the morning to see if it holds. The concerning thing is the battery is very warm to hot. You can hold your hand on...
I have seen what you're referring to and am going to give it a try. I just 10 mins ago connected an Optima D1200 charger. No need to trick the charger into powering up with a parallel connected good battery. It currently says that its "conditioning" the battery and the voltage and amperage...
I've got the time, the patience, and will have the proper charger as of tomorrow. At $237 apiece for new Optima D51r batteries it'll be time well spent.
Thanks to all for your input.

I picked up a super clean 802a today from a member here. The batteries have never been used as the cable ends were taped over and one of the positive posts still had the red plastic cap that you have to break to get off. The 2 yellow top 51r's are showing 1.6V each. The set was built in...
LITD,
So when using this charger, can you confirm that the batteries are still interconnected with each receiving an independent 12v charge?
Thanks,
