Use this hose end fitting with a straight fitting in the part to make the bends when ever possible. This will reduce flow loss rather than using a 90 degree fitting which is drilled with a 90 degree intersection. On the pressure side of the engine driven fuel pump 90 degree fittings are not a problem. I like to use full flow hose ends on all the oil cooler hoses and straight fittings in the engine case and oil cooler. Even though the oil is under pressure the stuff is higher viscosity, so there may be more flow loss using 90 degree fittings for this application. I may be just paranoid about this, but that's how we do installations here.
