With this pair installed on the filter reg, you can terminate how you wish and where you wish on the other end.
When i did my ls i formed all of my lines with my mastercool hydraulic former, and used inverted flair connections as needed. This former can make inverted flair, push connect, and o'ring style ends. I'm running a return style fuel lines with a supply and return at the engine as per 2000 silverado and a gm fuel filter (no regulator).

Intresting, I'll look up those style lines/fittlings. The set up I'm building is a return less 2009 6.0Liter with a Boyd tank at the rear. I'm planning on mounting the regulator just in front of the shock cross member tucked in the rail and a stainless hard line from the regulator to the fuel rail. Returns and supply to the regulator to tank will be 6AN Fragola PTFE. I purchased the same mastercool hydraulic flaring tool and it makes life way easier
The bonus is the gm fuel line dies so we'll see how it stands up to 3/8" stainless tube. I'm just stuck on these darn fittings and have every thing else ready to go, but will document the process as much as possible. Thanks, I can use all the help I can get. This fuel line has been intmidating to start but it's all down hill from there.
