    Plan "B" from a ‘cheap’ displaced Cannuk in Raleigh.

    Since most of the fuel lines are now NLA I reuse the existing fittings.

    I cut off most of the ‘crimped’ portion of the original connection and remove and clean off the remnants of the original fuel line. Then I ‘recrimp’ the remains of the fitting using a flaring tool, and slightly ‘flare’ the end of the copper tubing. Some new 1/4" fuel line and some good stepless ear clamps and away you go. I have pressure tested these connections up to 25 PSI and they hold pressure perfectly.
