How to install AN fittings on Braided stainless Fuel line

[Jenzilly]

hell yeah, bought a classic jet boat last month and couldn't for the life of me find a good guide about what tubing and where to buy tubing for the water injected headers. now i know exactly how to set everything up. Thank you!

Less Views, Less expansive cameras or editing, but much more useful informations. I wish all YT videos will be like this lol
One of the best videos about cpe hoses!

Thank you !

Awesome video don't worry about other saying you talk to much. Taking about what your doing is another learning tool!

Great video. Thank you! I have a 1970 Nova where the fuel line is starting to leak under pressure. the braided hose to the carb is loose within the fitting (that's where it's leaking). The fitting is a 90 degree bend like you showed here, with the other end of the bend attaching to a hard fuel line. Your instructions gave me great insight as to how these go together so that I might be able to repair the connection. If not, I'll buy new hose, inspect the fitting to see if it appears to be good, and build a new hose.

Again, thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for.

You can make a fuel-line clamp for your vise from a block of wood. It's pretty cheap. Drill a hole down the center of a 2x4 the same size as the o.d. of your fuel line. Cut the block in half from one end of the hole to the other end of the hole through the center. You can use an uncut, drilled block to cut through the fuel line (and block) instead of tape, too.

Nicely done. One other guy stated not to let the screwed in portion (the male portion into the line) make contact with the nut on the stainless line. I will go with your recommendation. AS you stated ....DO NOT TORQUE one to another but let them make contact and stop right there. NICE BUICK ....looks like a 58 Buick Special. Thanks for the tips and Keep up the good work.

Thanks for that "down to earth" video. Good tip about the grease too.

Nicely demonstrated Dean, I have never had the opportunity to work with the braided line and fittings before, but if I do in the future I'll know how to put them together, thanks!

very helpful i am about to re-plumb my fuel lines with a long length of uncut hose and a bag full of an fittings !

Thanks for a good up close view of how to do it, answered all my questions.

Great instructions. Something that I learned over time that helped me both make straight cuts but also clean cuts is to go as slow as I feel like I can. Maybe I'm too much of a brute force person when it comes to using tools. But when I put just enough pressure on to keep the cut moving I seem to get really straight cuts and without any edges or fray or whatever. When I'm cutting metal sheet or shapes it's different.

Nice and straight forward, this helped a lot - Thanks!

I'd like to comment on how great this type of connection is. I worked around high pressure hydraulic hoses for over 25 yrs. Crimped fittings fail regularly, while these do not fail ever. I don't care if it was crimped by a tool bigger than a jumbo jet. Crimped fittings suck. These AN are about as good as it gets for flexible hoses and it can be done with normal hand tools. Just takes time. Do mind the hose width shrinkage from using these fittings, so try to always go a size up.

Hey Dean, I am just finishing mt braided lines on my 55' Buick Riviera. Unfortunely AN fitting worked like yours ! I had to push a small ferrule in to seat. I left to go....without the fittings that swivel...had to order another 90 degree.

[sandblind]

Excellent demonstration. Gives me confidence I can do it.

Nice job I like the way you did it step by step that help me a lot

Those are great fittings, i used them for transport refrigeration lines on the systems i built at Northeast Thermo King. Nice they will last a long long time, a look great too.
