Matt AS a A&P and instructor, those lines that look good are more than likely good. The whole trick is not to overtight the b nuts. U should be fine. Everything I see is looking great! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Dralle" Sent: Sunday, July 10, 2011 11:02:17 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: RV8-List: Reusing 3/8" Flares... Dear Listers, I pulled out all of the fuel selector valve and fuel pump goodies from the old fuselage today. I disassembled all of the various flare ends and cleaned up all the Fuel Lube with lacquer thinner making sure not to get any in the pump or valve or transducers. All but two of the fuel lines seem to be reusable and don't show any signs of damage from the Mishap. I really don't want to have to recut, rebend, and reflare all of these if I don't have to. What's the common knowledge on reusing the flares on the fuel and brake lines? Am I just asking for a bunch of leaks if I put these back into service now that I've unscrewed them? Thanks!
