How do I go from steel 3/8" fuel line into -6AN lines?

Trying to tie my stock steel fuel lines into braided stainless.

I assume there is a professional way to do this????

 

Flare nut?

 

Slide a tube nut and sleeve onto the steel line.
Then use a 37 deg. flaring tool to single flare the steel line.
Then it can be mated to any -6AN type fitting.

I think I used a 3/8"x 1/4" NPT fitting mated to a 6AN fitting to do this on mine. I seated this combination in the fenderwell hole, using a short piece of 3/8 rubber fuel hose between the 3/8 nipple and the factory fuel line. The fuel line is inside the fenderwell, the stainless in the engine compartment.

Look up "rus-639200" on www.summitracing.com, and see if that'll work.

 

That states it is designed for aluminum fuel line... not sure if it would work on his stock steel lines? Maybe it works using a compression ferrule.

 

I have the flaring tools...

I got the flared nuts, too!

 

But, check the angle of the flare, brake flares are 45, and AN are 37 degrees.

 

Ah, thanks. I am pretty sure mine are brake flares.

I will give the local shop a second chance today. If he can help me get this part working, I will start using him for my parts. He is close to work, and maybe I caught him at a bad time last week.

 

Here is what I got. The guy at "mom and pop" store said I don't need to flare the tube for this. It has a brass ferule, but no instructions.

Flare, or not?

Either way, I need to do this to my trans cooler lines, as well! No more hose clamps!

 

that should work. i prefer to use tube nuts and flare the line.

 

Make sure you fully seat the tubing in the fitting, before you start to tighten the outer fitting .

 

The brass ferrule may not fully compress and seal against steel tubing. You can try it though. Im with Bryant on flaring the tubing against using a brass ferrule.

 

Would any sort of sealant or other material help to seal this?

Or just brute strength and crossed fingers?
