You could also make up some steel braided lines.  They don't leak and can be disconnected/reconnected over and over.....      :2thumbs:

Yeah, that's about what I had in mind, the local fittings store carry the Goodridge fittings.
Just have to wait until tuesday before they open.  ;)

This is pretty basic, nothing fancy for sure. But NEVER leaked!  :thumbsup:

My Barry Grant line started leaking in the same spot a couple of days ago.  I had to snug it a bit tighter and that took care of it.  Agree with everyone else, flare fittings don't need sealant.

Thank you for the pics!  :thumbsup:
Yeah, the leaking Mr. Gasket fuel line does looks a lot better, just a pity the Mr. Gasket fuel line is to be considered as scrap metal.
What angle are the flares?

Regular steel line flares are 45 degrees, AN stuff (stainless braid, anodized fittings etc.) going to other AN stuff can be 45 or 37 degrees. Depends on what you buy.
