you can't use a flaring tool and a union?






Suffering from more imagination than sanity......

well

1. line 1 goes from the front of the 2200 rail 3/8ths barb to the hard line at the firewall that i cut, i am sure i could use soft line there as its the retun and only sees like what 12 psi maybe.

2. line 2 will go from the 5/16ths inlet on the rear of the 2200 rail and go to the supply line that was cut at the firewall, which will be operating above stock to 60psi with a walbro in line pump, and everything else in the bay is an braided earls and i was wondering if i should just hard line the supply but everyone told me not to use compression fittings or unions on fuel line becasue they are only good to like 50 psi and i was thinking a brake union would work.

thanks
jason
