Tip for you guys..use heat shrink around and abrasive/touching areas
clear heat shrink if your fussy

[sergiobeltran]

So on the last fittings you don’t need to clamp it or anything and it holds? Up to how much pressure will it hold?

Hey there! I really enjoyed your fantastic YouTube video, especially since it's from an Aussie like me! I'm keen on upgrading my Toyota Prado diesel from those stock rubber clamp-style hoses to AN/PTFE hoses. Do you happen to have any videos demonstrating how to fit the AN/PTFE fittings from either the fuel filter end or from the OEM steel fuel pipe end? Cheers, Ethan from Perth, WA.

I tend to just go to BL-Shipway. Get them to make whatever custom line I need.

Much cheaper than Automotive options, and often rated to 1000's of PSi.
