Upgrading Fuel Lines

[Eagle_SX4]

I don't like how I did the fuel lines on my Eagle and would like to upgrade them to something better. I am running a '92 HO 4.0 with a Cherokee tank. All the connections at both the fuel rail and tank are the same as the Comanche. I used a hard line from the firewall back to the rear axle with fuel injection hose clamped to the ends. I did buy and use a flare tool but it left much to be desired and ultimately had to use 2 hose clamps on each connection to keep it together. I did have the pressure line blow off the adapter for the fuel rail which is why I am looking for a better solution.

 

I am thinking of switching to some -6 AN lines. I have found some fittings that will hook up to the fuel rail. I will probably flare the hard line to 37 degrees and use a tube sleeve and tube nut. I have not decided if I am going to use the stainless or nylon braided hose.

 

The big unknown is how I will hook up the an lines to the fuel sending unit. I could probably just use some standard fuel injection hose with hose clamps on to a push lock AN fitting. If anyone has experience with AN hoses and fitting some advice would be much appreciated. I know that all the fittings and hoses will add up quick but I would like a fuel system I don't have to worry about.

3/8 nicopp line works great as a fuel line and will net you far better flares than stainless. Just do your 37* flared ends and use a tube nut to go straight to AN fittings

Thanks I will get some nicopp for the hard line.
