AN fittings to stock sending unit.

How are you guys attaching your fuel line to your fuel pump sending unit?

Is it possible to cut and reflare it to a 37 degree flare and use a line collar and nut.

I'm trying to make it look good and be good so I'm trying to not just clamp it to the tube.

Any thing would be useful

Re: AN fittings to stock sending unit.

I found a 3/8 compression fitting to -6 AN fitting on eBay...
I may just stick with my original plan of using a parts counter nylon fuel line fix and a dorman compression fitting....

Check my build thread for some more details...

Re: AN fittings to stock sending unit.

Here is a thread I started the end of last year:

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...t=sending+unit

I used the compression adapters and so far have not had any leaks or blowouts, there are links to them in the first post. Just don't overtighten them because you risk cracking the ferrel.

Re: AN fittings to stock sending unit.

Compression fittings with -6 ends work awesome. I've used them a lot.
