Thanks Guy
You pointed me in the right direction. My local aviation shop was able to p
ut a bead on my fuel line in about ten minutes. Your comments were a big hel
p, thanks.

aft tools: www.hangartoolbox.com.) It might be easier to buy flare fittings
from Summit racing or Jegs and use a flare tool (cheap) to put on flare tra
nsitions to barb. Then use hose to go from your new barb fittings to your fi
lter. (Or you can buy really nice flare fuel filters from Summit or Jegs, th
at's what I used.)

can make a standard flair used in metal to metal connections but I think th

flair but I'm not sure how to go about this.
