Hopefully, I'll be putting together, and installing my fuel system on my mountain motor Chevy very soon. I already have purchased the fuel cell as well as some stainless steel braided hose, along with the hose end fittings. What I've learned through this experience so far via some experimentation, is that it can be one nightmare trying to install the hose ends onto the steel braided hose! If you've never tried it, then trust me on this. It's a real hassle.
Anywho, I just found this cool tool on the net for making this task a whole lot easier (so they say). However, I also must tell you that although I've purchased this tool, I haven't used it yet. But it does look promising. So for those of you who may be building or contemplating your own monster HP projects now, or in the future, which will require stainless steel braided hose for the fuel lines, you might want to checkout the link below, and in the meantime, for those who might be interested, I'll let you know how it works when I do get around to assembling my fuel lines.
BTW, you also might want to keep in mind that with at least the Russell brand hose end fittings, the hose needs to be screwed into the fitting using a counter clockwise rotation instead of the clockwise direction that the video on the web page that the link below leads you to shows. This post is mostly offered for the hands-on do-it-yourselfers on here. I've learned over the years that when it comes to hi-perf cars, if you want something done right, you usually have to do it yourself. So I hope this info helps someone out.....
