I love this video. I spent HOURS compiling a spreadsheet months back with all the information contained here. I know it was glossed over here, but I would love to see a video about single flare vs double flare vs bubble flare. How to identify 37 degree from 45 degree by sight. What is reusable between tube sleeves/45 degree double flares/ compression fittings. Can I mix and match a 37 degree aluminum fitting and a 37 degree steel fitting. Corrosion inside the lines (ethanol, methanol, oil, water ect). When to use crimped lines vs when to use homemade lines. Again thanks for the amazing information. I wish this video had been out sooner.
After fighting all day trying to make black PTFE hoses that are about 2" of hose. Metal is gonna be the way to go I think. If you are on the fence, take a look at any of the Nelso racing videos. Those cars with all the polished hard lines are a work of art. First time I spotted all the polished lines on turbo feeds, waste gates, all of it,I couldn't believe how good it looks. Ill never make these bends in rubber I don't think to mount the regulator under the throttle body on motion bracket
Is there a downside to using Easy-Form Tubing as fuel lines? I feel like it's a bit too good to be true, but it would be a Godsend for replacing the fuel lines on a C3 corvette.
I need to run hose/tube on hotrod from the engine driven air compressor to the air dyer this line will get quite warm 200 degrees and need to run about 6 feet and support 120 psi what would you suggest I'm think earls steel line needs to be 1/2 or 5/8
Need some feedback please. Can the hard line from tank be replaced with neoprene hose from tank to carb? My hard line vibrates from elect pump and is so loud. Thanks much.
This is debated all over the internet but the general conclusion...especially if fuel will sit at all...is that stainless is the only hard line to use with E85 or methanol. Lots of discussions on yellowbullet about this if you search.
Here is a question: Does the height of the fuel line you run, in relation to the tank and fuel pump, mater? To save hassle I'd like to run my new lines over the inner fender to the mechanical fuel pump in my 73 Torino. This rout will bring them over the height of the fuel pump. and back down to it. Does that even matter? Please help.
no it doesn't matter. mechanical pumps are suction/puller type pumps. they are designed to pull fuel from a long fuel line. electric pumps need to be gravity fed because they are pusher type pumps.
Holley/Sentinel Capital Partners, owns to much of the aftermarket performance companys. Their not the only group that has done this. There is not much competion anymore and its not good. Everything is price fixed and the consumer is the one taking it in the ass. Start buying from independent companys if you can, before they get bought out. Can you say monopoly market.
what ever happened to good competent apple pie teachers like this? easy to listen to. good information. and concise.

Thanks for the feed-back, I will try to put together a video to answer your great questions in the near future! Thx J
@@HolleyPerformance what hardline would be best for E85? Or could you use them all?
@@masoncampos7043 my question too Mason, did you ever find out?

Great video at last someone has compared line materials and flaring tools 🛠
You guys have awesome informative info. Thanks for this.
best video that covers all types of lines.

Hi earl's.. Which is most suitable for my oil coolant sistem, my coolant also had pressure and temperature reaching 120c - 140c
EXCELLENT video. Thank you!
Are there any problems with using the copper/nickel tubing with E85 fuel?
No sir, our easy form line is well suited for use with E85, ethanol, alcohol, and race fuels. thx J
time to ponder my decision to buy NPT fittings before learning about AN fittings...
You will like AN fittings. AN = Army Navy. So a -6 is 6/16" or 3/8" -8 is 8/16" or 1/2" and so on.
@@robertclymer6948 I ended up hurting my wallet up front for the AN fittings. They look so much cooler too, aside from being better
Great video!!!!

Thank you!
why do you not recommend using aluminium line for brake system?
Which lines do you guys recommend for running e85? Please i don't w as not to use ptfe rubber.

what is the name of this small device that lies above the yellow one on the table, I can't find it anywhere on the Internet.
What type of metal fitting could and should (with concerns of corrosion or electrolysis) be used to hardline to an aluminum radiator?
Thanks 👍
Where can i get the tool at 2:30?
For a stainless steel line when should I add the 37 degree flair and when should use the a ferrel and the hard line adapter
Hi David, YT channel Klowny1969 has a great video showing all of this. Tools needed fittings etc. Check it out.

What the tool being used at 2:23 to make that bubble? Part #?
That's an EZ Beader. We have them available for many sizes of tube. www.holley.com/products/plumbing_an_fittings_and_hose/plumbing_tools/beaders/
What about Winnebago P30
Is there any reason to not use normal hardware copper pipe?
It's not the same as nicopp.
It will corrode. Ever peel a penny off the floor of a pool?
Any of this good for efi?
Yes, all of this should be fine for EFI use. I would not recommend using the radius bead method with a rubber hose for EFI pressures. Thx J
but max diameter is 1/2 for the aluminum fuel line if you made a 5/8 / 10an line I would gladly change over but sadly you dont
Plenty of other companies offer it.
@@garyhowe88 name them
@@460capri last reply got deleted... 👀 google '5/8 aluminium hardline' and you'll get all your answers
