Ok, so I'm planning my fuel setup right now and since I plan on running a carb and mechanical fuel pump, I won't need anything crazy, it'll only see like 6-8psi. AN fiitings are expensive and everything, but do I really need them?
I just got finished running/flaring/bending my own brake lines, and figured I'd do the same with the fuel lines, just larger. Is there any problem to using a double inverted flared connection on the fuel lines for a carb setup? I'm 99% sure I'm going w/ 3/8" line, but might step up to 1/2".
The fuel cell I'm looking at has -8AN outlets, which is the same as 1/2", so if I went 3/8" line I'd just need a reducer, no biggie.
So if someone could explain why AN fittings are worth it or what (if any) advantages they have over a normal double flared setup, I'd highly appreciate it.
Also, any comments/recommendations would be nice as well.
Thanks
