Has anyone found a local retailer that sells Push-Lok tubing and fittings? I know it can be ordered online but was curious if anyone has local retailers/distributers that sell it (i.e. RV parts store, pump store, etc.). In search of it for the pre-oem filter. Thanks in advanced for the help.

If you are referring to the push lock barbed fittings for the secondary fuel filtration setup, then those can be had at Lowe's or an auto parts store. As far as the tubing is concerned, go to an auto parts store and get some rubber fuel line.

"Push Lock " is not just a barbed fitting. They are different. And the hose they use are different. The regular barbed fittings will work, i would just suggest using hose clamps. With "push lock" you wolnt need hose clamps. The local store around here is called Triad Fluid Power. The "push lock" brand is made by Parker Hose Company. So i would try to find a Parker dealer.

Fastenal might carry these fitting also. We use a lot of push lock at work, great stuff and stands up to some mild heat pretty good too.

I beleive the parker push lock is a system. The fittngs are usless without the hose and visa versa.

You can't just take any hose and install it on the parker fitting and expect it to work correctly.

Now if your looking for the pushlock for the nylon tubing, you should be able to pick that up at any auto parts store.

You are correct. You'll need push lock fittings with push lock hose. Its not cheap, but its hands down the best way to run rubber hose.

I was unaware that the Parker hose must be used also with the parker push lock barbed fittings. I have some Parker push lock barbed fittings, but no Parker hose. Learned something new today.

CrewCabMax thanks for the help. I looked on the Parker website prior to posting but overlooked the distributors section. Your link got me the information I needed. Thanks again.
