Connecting Speedflow 400 Series To Steel Fuel Line

[GeeTR]

Im running some speedline fittings for fuel and was wondering how to connect some 400 series to the steel fuel line. Its a BNR32 and I’m looking down towards the engine bay fuel filter location at the high pressure and return lines, wondering how ppl do it. Do people remove that section of line from underneath the car and weld / braze a threaded fitting on to take a SF barb fitting?

Any thoughts would be appreciated

get a special speedflow fitting that u slide over the metal line and then u gotta flare the metal line and then the special fitting will seal hard against the flare and has threads on it to screw into the other speedflow fitting.

il try and get a pic for u later on if i can, its hard to explain in words

Ahhh ok, I should have guessed. I need to do some research on these tools then, to figure out how much room I need to do it. I have the intake plenum off and don’t want to put it back on only to remove when I fit lines.

Thanks a lot, any pictures would be great

hey mate, yer its abit of a pain in the arse to do it in the car with motor in, we did it by pulling the lines down under the car so they were hanging way below the car and did it that way, u gotta cut off the factory flares to be able to slide the fitting and little cup (-6 in size) over the metal line and then flare the end with a flaring kit. the flaring kit we bought from bunnings its made for flaring plumbing pipe so they only cost like $15 for the kit and it does heaps of different sizes.

heres a pic of the fitting and the little cup, the big fitting slides over first and then the cup, and the metal flared pipe end has to end up bigger than the little cup fat end so it can seal against it. i dont have any pics of it installed, i will soon but not for a week or so.

the first pic is the little cup sitting inside the bigger fitting.

the 2nd one is the 2 fittings

3rd one is the way they go onto the metal line, so the big one first then the little one sits inside the big one and the bottom of the little one hangs below the big one. (as u can see in pic 1)

hope it makes sense
