Straight tubing to hose fittings What type of fittings do people usually use when connecting straight 3/8" fuel line to steel braided hose line. I have the earls hose end (female) at the end of my hose, but I'm having trouble finding -6an male tube ends. Hydraulic and Air conditioning places around my area are clueless. Any help would be apriciated.

Or you could use the fitting that goes direct from stock hard fuel line quick connect to SS hose such as sold by Nate @ Nasty Performance & probably some other sponsors...

That's what I used at the fuel rails and fuel tank.

yea.
do it the way guys have done it for decades before the "hardline adapters" came along..
slip a tube nut on, and flare the hardline.. then it directly connects to the fitting you already have on the hose.
edit: be sure to use the correct flare tool for the connection. not a standard double flare tool.

The hose you have to put together your self with straight hose ends use the Russell fitting mentioned I have them for $8.50 then a -6 male to male union to -6 straight hose end.

OK, got a pic but where do I get just this fitting and can I intall it myself with semi-normal tools? I have a 45 and 37 degree flare tool if that helps. And this also, is a female tubing end, it won't go straight into a hose end without an adapter will it?
