How to Make your own SS Lines for Oil, Fuel, etc
I was researching how to assemble your own SS lines, since I will have to make my own for my new fuel system and I came across this thread. Very informative, so why not share.

I just ordered a set of Koul Tools and hope to have just as simple of a time assembling all of the necessary fuel lines I will need.
Enjoy the great pics and explanation seen in the link above.

I use to made SS line for aircraft, and it's basically the same steps. However that's no real way to pressure check without installing it and then checking for leaks.
And we only used Aero-Quip hoses and fittings.

There is what is called a "reusable" fitting that companys like Aero-Quip have and if PROPERLY installed will withstand intense pressures. They tend to be bulkier and VERY tricky to install properly. I do use them on occasions. They are nice for long runs for fuel etc. 50 PSI is a piece of cake for them.
They will far exceed Brake Line pressure, BUT.......Properly Installed. There again---nice for long runs.
Just FYI ^^^^^
The crimps are more compact, cheaper and fool proof ...almost

I have found a very easy way to get the braided line inside the fitting. I leave one turn of the electrical tape on the end where I make the cut, then I use some engine oil and and apply it to the tape. The hose slips righ in, without much effort. Don't need a vise at all (even though I have one).
