Re: 70 C20 Fuel System Replacement Advice Needed

Thanks! Really the worst case for bending and flaring (typical automotive, anyway) is 3/8" stainless. It's really tough and strong.

Turns out double flares do work just fine. You can apparently get away with single flares for AN stuff but I did all double.

I had a couple of leaks when I first fired it up but they turned out to be fittings that were only finger tight (whoops, my mistake!). I was actually impressed how little they leaked for being loose! And none of the PTFE hose ends had any problem, they all sealed great.
