Subject: RE:Modern Fuel Lines, Help Me Understand! by Twin_Turbo on 2008/2/19 9:42:52 What is a conventional fitting? You can convert it to AN if you like. Do those lines see pressure or just suction? If the pump is after these lines you can just use thoseearls or other brand tube adapters. They have a soft brass ferrule. If you want to make sure it's 100% leak proof and will never come off, assembly the whole deal with the ferrule and the nut packed with some kind of epoxy like JBweld, just rough up the ends with some rough sanding paper. There are swagelok (and other brand) fittings for hard line that come with a steel ferrule, they bite the tubing better and are for higher pressures but also much more expensive. You can also silver braze a fitting on the end or have that tig welded. Here's a tubing adapter on a stock fuel pump. These things are available with female and male ends (the male end readily accepts a hose end) [web]http://i31.tinypic.com/qposvc.jpg[/web] |
