Did you warm the end before you flared? Do you remember what brand tubing it was?

The brand is Moroso, the tube nuts were XRP. I used an Imperial 37 degree flaring tool and believe it or not a conduit bender.

Another option is stainless fuel line. Aluminum line might work for a race car, but it is poor choice for a street car.

Anyway, here is a thread on it, in the past. Just search on Bentfab. He can provide more input on what tools to use, etc.

Just wanted to add that was 5/8 aluminum fuel line. Good luck with your project.

I saw his post, but it sounds like a street car. https://lateral-g.net/forums/showthread.php4?t=38376

Aluminum is bad idea on a street car. You can do regular hardline as well.
