 I know, I know...another gas tank thread.
I bought a coil of 3/8 poly for the tank lines. I tried to flare it and...Nope. cant get the flaring tool to grip the line. I'll be cutting off two inches and returning to the store. (I kept it in the coil because I had a feeling...)
after reading what I thought was every thread on this forum about gas tanks, I came across one for hard lines. Of course.
what length pre-made poly lines are used? I'd like to buy supplies before doing the job. I know I'll end up in town for some stupid thing, probably more than once. but the fewer the better.
also, I have NO experience with compression fittings. I don't need the latest and greatest, just what will work well.
do I really NEED to use compression fittings to the senders? I was planning on using hose, but if the lines already come with half the fitting...
i am not doing the whole system in hard line. I'm anxious to get a trip under my belt, and if I get a few years out of these lines (using barrier greenshield) that will suffice.
Plus, doing it again in a few years will be a great lesson for my son.
