Thanks Bobcat, Have my steel hard tube compression fitting installed now but, I went to my local Parker store and Parker did not have a -6 AN steel hose end for other brand (size) O.D. hoses, Parker fittings are designed for Parker -6AN teflon lined hose only with a smaller O.D., I am using AUTO (RUSSELL) type -6AN hose with 0.55" O.D.

I ended up spending 18 bucks buying a brass 3/8 barb fitting w/ pipe thread on other end then connected to a steel -6 AN swivel hose end, not elegant but reliable. As an engineer, I laughed on the way home telling myself I should just use a nice $0.99 wide quality hose clamp and spend the 18 bucks somewhere else. Still may take this stuff back. UPDATE- WILL NOT USE THE PARKER FITTINGS, FOUND MORE ELEGANT SOLUTION USING STEEL AEROAQUIP AND EARLS FITTINGS. SEE MY NEXT POST BELOW

With 8 psi max fuel pressure this is over kill anyway but if I upgrade to FI one day I wanted the fittings to be good for up to 60 psi.
