Fuel Line Fittings

I'm about to run fuel line from rear boyd fuel tank to front pump is there an advantage to using Hard tube adapters or flaring at 37 degree and using tube nuts and sleeves

Thanks

Re: Fuel Line Fittings

I thought AN fittings were 37º

I haven't upgraded my fuel line plumbing yet so I'm interested in others experience.

Re: Fuel Line Fittings

Bigdav from what I have been reading yes AN fittings are 37 deg but what I was asking about is the Hard tube adapters its a compression style fitting so no flare has to be used. Since this is my first on fuel line I was trying figure out which way was best flaring or compression .

I'm leaning toward flaring
