You're using push to connect Nylon fittings?
If so, you'll need a push to connect hydraulic flaring tool to reflare your steel lines if they are not setup for push to connect. I have one and it works really well, but probably not worth it unless you just really want push connect custom fuel lines.

You should be able to use fittings like stealth71 posted. Or, you could use regular big truck airline fittings. They would be DOT approved fittings, which would have a little insert to keep the line straight, so it will seal better, and not try to compress crooked.

I hope you realize that the nylon fuel line isn't going to be very safe with the underhood temps it will be seeing. It might stand a lot of pressure but it won't stand heat worth a ****. Carry a good fire extinguisher with you. You're probably going to need it.

That was my picture place, just from a google search. You can get those at any local big truck dealer, i.e Kenworth, Freightliner, International. Maybe even a hydraulic hose shop. I bet you could find some at an Ace Hardware too. They are just a compression fitting, like a copper tube as well.
