I’m not sure they are NLA, we seem to be able to get them over here

Picture on their website is quite stubborn, but looks like the outgoing, just different number

I was hoping you had the part numbers of these incorrect ones.

Did they send a different part with the wrong Bosch part number from what's shown on their websites ?

Yes, the 016 has been superseded by the 021, which has different screw ends. So when you order a 016, you get a 021.

Thanks jrwilson.

Wow, how are those even considered compatible, across the industry it appears as well ? It's as if one ordered a 10mm wrench and a "compatible" 8mm arrived in your mailbox.

There was an even smaller than the 021 that I originally received, then the 021...

I then ordered a 0-450-905-079 from SunCoast... They sent me an 021...

Sooo...now...I'm ordering the fittings suggested earlier in this thread to convert to the 021 and put this mess to rest...

They're the same...as long as you own a shop with a large inventory of fuel system fittings
