Default Aeroquip socketless fittings?

Anyone use these? They look interesting but not sure if they will work well for a fuel system. How does the hose braid keep from fraying, and will it slip off?

I have them on my carbed settup in my car.I think you have to use their socketless hose that is made for it(i did). Not shure if the hose will work for FI though.... They go on really snug and are really easy to work with.

I bought a bunch of -12's. I haven't used them yet either.
As said, you use special hose, no braiding. They're legal, if that helps.

It looks like an easier way to plumb a fuel system. No fighting with getting the braid in the fittings. Just wondering if it is the right way to go with a stout fuel system.
