Those with a GM flex fuel sensor and AN hose?

I am looking for a better solution than just using some fuel injection clamps to hold on my 6AN hose to the flex fuel sensor. Anyone who has some pictures to show how they have made a solid connection to this sensor would be great. I have it in my return line. I am looking for a GM quick connect fitting to a 6AN hose adapter.
The closest thing I can find that may work is this adapter:

Although the flex fuel sensor has 2 different OD dimensions to make this even more complicated so I imagine the above fitting would only work for 1 of the 2 lines. The other option would be to go from AN to a rubber line then rubber line back to AN - although this is way too many fittings!

The proper way to plumb a Flex Fuel Sensor. The ends come on a Wix Fuel Filter Part #33576. Cost $27.05. You will have to remove the hoses very carefully with a razor blade. The one disconnect is a little larger where the hose connects, but I was able to utilize the same size hose on both fittings.

That looks like a great solution for those using stock lines. Thanks for posting.

I will try to snap a picture of what I did. I actually just drilled out one of the holes a bit larger and used two nylon 10mm nuts to hold it onto one stud that is on the firewall.

If you want to properly manage the level of E85 you are using this is the sensor required to do so. You risk serious engine damage without monitoring your E85 and validating your current tune is not too aggressive for the E85 % level in your tank.

didnt see these mentioned, but they are a perfect fit and fairly cheap. you need one of each.

Those are much cheaper than the Aeromotive ones I purchased. Good look! I like those one better because they integrate the 6AN male fitting on the end.

The pressure is low on the return line, its like a garden hose... It sounds like aesthetics reasons and not mechanical reasons for why you want to change from hose clamps

Im a noob to some extent, But does the Stock ecu/ reflash have capability of 3d/4d mapping to make adjustment to the tune, or is this sensor just so you know that the e85 % is up to par. I know of a few standalone computers that would work well with this sensor, so what computers are you guys running.

Here is another option that Russell makes:

Look at the first items on the page. Part numbers are 644110 and a 644120. I'm using the 644120 on the fuel pump housing outlet.
