does anyone use these in their fuel system? i'm talking about the fittings that seem to pinch the end of the hose to stay on. are they reliable to use w/ rubber fuel lines?

Depends on the hose end. Most "ends" are made for braided steel lines. Most fittings are made either to adapt to a standard sized fitting or another Army-Navy fitting.
Ask the manufacturer if their ends are compatable with plain high pressure rubber hose.

do you know of any manufacturers that sell hose ends that are compatible? i was thinking of the earl's auto-fit or super-stock hose ends. it seems like their super stock hoses are rubber, from the pictures anyway. what would be a good alternative instead of using hose ends in order to couple to AN fittings? to use hose barbs you would need to have like 6 fittings in order to get from 6AN to 1/4" hose barb, b/c all the hose barbs have NPT fittings on their opposite end.

I got my fittings at a local Speed shop, and they were suposedly "clampless" fittings. The barbs were very heavy and larger than normal barbs, but i uses a hose clamp just in case. I believe Summit sells the ones i got( red and blue color)

i just oredered a ton of fittings from anplumbing.com... summit didn't have all the ones i needed. i feel like i'm building one of those erector set thingies, hehe.. geez thanks fellas. i ended up deciding on running 6AN steel braided from the rail to the sfmu, w/ the various fittings and such. then ising hose barbs to connect to the HRC rubber fuel return line. getting from 6AN to 1/4" hose barb was a pain and pretty expensive. thanks again fellas

Hey guy's summit sells an to barb connectors. For my 8 inj. setup I bought 4 -4an to barb fittings. 2 for the fuel rail and 2 for the regulator. Earls and areoquip make these fittings. I would call back and ask them again for a -6an to barb fitting.
I edited to the wiki!

>can you post a list of what pices you got? I am planning on >doing the same setup, and ive been looking for the fittings! >thanks!
i'll post a list of exactly what fitting i used as soon as they come and i'm sure that they're all correct
as for summit, i didn't call them, but i search their whole fittings section and couldn't find any AN to barb fittings, i also searched many times at anplumbing.com(where i ordered the stuff) and they didn't have any listed either. the only barbs were npt to barb, so i got some AN to npt fittings to connect. that's for the outlet on the sfmu, for the inlet i got earls perm-o-flex and some hose ends and connectors and stuff.
