Not flaring my fuel lines! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Today I grabbed a break and did some study. Rubber hose doesn't slip onto single flared lines very easily and my kit won't do bubble flares.

About a year ago a couple of members suggested I not even flare my new fuel lines and I think they might be right. I easily slipped hose onto unflared lines and clamped with hose clamps....I couldn't pull it apart.

So I don't think I'm going to flare at all. 250 I6 engine, 1 barrel carb, and mechanical fuel pump are the stats.

Your thoughts?
