Default Custom fuel line & return line for the CJM twin fuel pump

Well, based on some of your installed pictures, I put together my own fuel lines for CJM twin fuel pump assembly. I'm new at this, so it would be nice if you guys can confirm if I got the right parts..

Fuel tank to engine:
2 -6AN hose -> Y join -> 1 -8AN hose -> -8AN 45 micron in-line fuel filter -> 1 -8AN hose:



Return line:
-6AN hose:

Do you have a tool to help in the actual assembly of the hoses. I have seen 3 methods...
1) the old school which results in a lot of bloody hands involves using the tip of a flat head screwdriver and pushing the edges of the SS hose into a fitting. Not the best way...Very Crude and Painful.
2) Koul Tools - small hand held or vise-held box-device which narrows the rough edges of the SS hose making building SS hose a breeze. About 15 seconds per fitting.
3) Specialized vise clamps that hold the Fitting in place while you crank the hose into each fitting.
Your choice...I purchased the Koul tools and it made my assembly a snap.
Just my $.02

Good Luck.

Randy, you for got to add to method 1: Throw hose across room, scream several 7 letter curse words, and even make up a few out of some conjoining adjectives and nouns, and kick the largest box within 3 feet of you, then go outside, pick up large empty cardboard exhaust box, and proceed to throw across the train tracks then chase it down and punch it several times..

Or perhaps you could opt for method 2

You forgot to mention the method 4:

Hand them over to your mechanic and let him choose from the above choices...

Well , when you ARE the mechanic, and try option 1... It becomes clear option 2 is more economically friendly..

I bought the vise attachment when I was putting hose ends togehter. works great, but I have always been fascinated by the Koul Tools device.
